Sherman

 [1/5] from: jhagman:infa:abo:fi at: 18-Aug-2000 18:17


Does anyone on the list have knowledge on faith of Sherman the Compiler? I tried to find it yesterday, but it has moved from it's old location. I would also be happy if someone has the source on his harddrive, so maybe he could mail it to me. Yours, Jussi P.S. I'll be away for the weekend I'll be able to respond on Monday. -- Jussi Hagman CS in Åbo Akademi University Studentbyn 4 D 33 [juhagman--abo--fi] 20540 Åbo [jhagman--infa--abo--fi] Finland

Sherman was private project of Joe Marshal, former emplyee of RT. It was REBOL 1.x compatible, so will not be of any use to current REBOL versions. It would be interested though, if something like the compiler is planned by RT folks in some future ... Cheers, -pekr-

So once existed a REBOL compiler. This is good to know. Who knows at this very moment someone has a new version "on the oven"? Lorenz

Hello [carlos--revistaeletronica--com--br]! On 18-Ago-00, you wrote: c> So once existed a REBOL compiler.

REBOL 1.0 was very close to Scheme, and Sherman is a REBOL to Scheme compiler, written in Scheme. It has some limitations with respect to the interpeted REBOL 1.0, too. REBOL 2.0 is very different, and is probably more difficult to translate to Scheme (mainly because it's more powerful :). This doesn't mean that a translator for a subset of REBOL isn't possible, but IMHO it wouldn't be very useful. (Not that I am an expert of Scheme, but I assume compiled Scheme has its limitations, too.) I'd more likely create a new compiled language, if that's really needed.

Yes, I'm aware of that, but I'm still interested in getting sherman. Just to look a bit in the source and do some testing. So anyone? If you have source to Sherman or know where it exists please answer. - Jussi -- Jussi Hagman CS in Åbo Akademi University Studentbyn 4 D 33 [juhagman--abo--fi] 20540 Åbo [jhagman--infa--abo--fi] Finland
