1. Re: interpreter and What For
Why is it important to have an interpreter? Because its to programme on!
Euphoria is not only a language, but also it exists in its present form as
an 'interpreted language'; rather than one that has to use a compiler stage
for it to render its data down to machine level code. In this sense EU is a
higher-level language than is Prolog or C. Interpreters are generally
easier to work with, and can display results quicker (because of less steps
in the overall process)than does a editor-to-compiler language.
As to the question about building an interpreter. I am game to help on
this, as long as a sane way can be figured out how to port the results over
to R3000 MIPS or any of several other RISC environments. What to try? I
would do what I can to help.
