Inter-function tail calls are working in TXR Lisp VM:

(Needs code clean-up, some optimizations, and probably knobs to control it separately from self tail calls. Will likely be released in 302.)

@artificialmind Nice! Thank you for the kind words! 🙂

Your own programming language!? This sounds really cool! We need those ambitious goals!

I wish you great success! 💪

I have a new favourite commit in GCC.

There may be others like it, but this is the first one I've found like this. Basically, most of what is given in the Changelog is not present in the commit. And it's still not on the main branch.

I want to read a #compiler book written in the last 15 years that covers same topics as the Modern Compiler Implementation book by Appel, but uses recent terminology, tools and techniques. Any recommendations? #compilers #programminglanguages

EDIT: It seems like no such book exists. I guess I’ll have to read docs, blogs and papers along with old books to put things together myself.
