Kraken

The Kraken Programming Language

(more information online at http://kraken-lang.org/ which is also under construction / needs to be updated / has a try-it-online feature for an older version without partial evaluation)

Heavily inspiried by John Shutt's thesis: https://web.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-090110-124904/unrestricted/jshutt.pdf with partial evaluation during compilation to make it efficient.

Currently developing the fourth iteration, a Scheme-like based on a functional Vau calculus JIT compiled for speed.

Working up to a JIT for fexprs by starting with

  • slj - a Simple Lisp JIT (WIP)
  • clj - a continuation lisp JIT?
  • mlj - a mutation lisp JIT?
  • flj - a fexpr Lisp JIT?
  • ki - A fexpr interpeter with mutation and delimited continuations
  • kj - A fexpr+mutation+delimited continuations JIT
