search for: interstices

Hi, I just wrote up a recent project which I think would be a natural fit with LLVM. I'm curious if y'all see this working well or if you can see any gotchas. Also potentially interested in finding someone comfortable with LLVM who would like to collaborate: Executive summary: What if the syntax and semantics of a programming language were specified in a library, rather than built

This sounds ambitious and should be very interesting, if you can make it work. The closest example I have heard of is work on metaprogramming (or partial evaluation) by exposing a compiler's parse trees to the programmer, but I suspect that is more limited. I don't know specific references offhand but one of the papers on MetaOCaml (which takes a different approach) may have

...isy-chaining fallback sources. The primary souce would be used by various broadcasters to send their programming, it's fallback would be a script driven automatic playlist and it's fallback would be a jingle loop. This way, there is programming if a broadcaster failed to connect and the interstices between that "emergency programming" from scripts would be filled by jingles. In no case would clients get disconnected anymore. The obvious pitfall and it's non-obvious solution is that, on stream connect, I appear to steal the clients from it's fallback. Because of the way...
