- Well, I have implemented most of the primitives of BASIS 15. Since C
- is portable, I have been generous with what I classify as primitive -
- we currently have 193 (including things like '>=' that are not in BASIS
- 15).
-
- The primitives compile to quite decent assembly code. We don't have a
- main() yet, so it does not yet run anywhere, but it compiles on
- DecStations and Apollo's and is easy to port to machines that run
- gcc-2.x.
-
- We have also a lot of ideas about the system architecture. One of them
- is the question of whether to have indirect threaded code or allow
- both direct or indirect threaded systems. What do you think - as users
- (We care for the implementation)? We would give you words to
- manipulate, what would be the code field in an indirect threaded
- system.
