Re: Re: Re: Re: original definition vs final language

Oooh, FLASHBACK.

Dragon book, compiler course, writing basic interpreter, writing P compiler, much drinking, hangovers, expressions accidentally evaluating right-to-left, claiming to prof that this was an homage to APL, fun fun... :)

lol claiming to prof that this was an homage to APL, Heh. Or Perl: `my @sorted=map { pop @$_} sort {$a->[0] <=> $b->[0]} map {[some_funky_key_calculator($_),$_]} @objects;` [download] Although people dont notice so much when its bottom to top for some reason. :-) BTW, tilly didnt like this at all. He wanted a special operator so it would read left to right. /Me I like it. But im a bit backwards sometimes... :-) --- demerphq my friends call me, usually because I'm late....	[reply] [d/l]
