Working on Lisp-Like Parser (cont.)
This morning I've been working more on the lisp-like parser for embedding in my projects, and it's coming along nicely. I realized that I needed to make my collections use pointers if I wanted to really use polymorphism, which just makes the housekeeping a little more, but other than that, it's fine. With that, I'm getting the right messages dispatched to the right instances, and things are moving right along.
I have been adding the function class to the code this morning, trying to get the evaluation of functions going. It's just a lot of little details and lots of writing. The base classes aren't bad, but every time you start another, you're looking at a good bunch of typing. I just need to get the first version hammered out and then I can look and see if I need to make it faster.
The rest of the day is in meetings, but it's nice to get it all moving forward this morning.
