I too would like to a see a document that describes the high level and
connects it to assembly. The equivalent of Dr. Ralph's "The Implementation
of the Icon Programming Language" would be a wondrous thing.
To be honest, I've always felt like arcanesentiment. Z-80 Assembler was how I
learned programming. My warm fuzzy comes from thinking in terms of
addresses, registers and machine instructions. Without coming to grips at
that level, I end up feeling lost. I love REBOL enough to ignore that twinge
most of the time, but then feel that efforts to help out with the
documentation and advocacy can only end up as epic fail due to the
disconnect.
And lately, I can't seem to shake an effort sapping sense of unworthiness in
that regard.
But all worthy things come with an emotional price and hope springs eternal.
So ... Go rebols Go!
