I enjoy functional programming and cookies.
Approximately 12000 words on my dissertation so far! The cap is 15000 – I’m getting dangerously close. I should be able to reduce it a lot by swapping out code samples for images though. This would also make them easier to read as they will have syntax highlighting. Redoing my poster this weekend too.
Latest improvements:
Sub-expressions are now matched and swapped out if a reduction is made.
Conditionals evaluate with bindings correctly.
Executor forms also evaluate with bindings correctly.
I have a few abstract ideas about ensuring termination, but nothing properly explored yet.
As well as cycle capturing for termination, I also have to build an infix expression parser. For which, I am thinking about implementing a modified version of the shunting-yard algorithm. We’ll see how that goes.
I have a meeting with my project supervisor at 11am today. I’m wondering what he’ll say if I tell him I started from scratch two days ago and have already completed the core functionality. :D
