The Newton Blog

I mentioned previously that I am targetting C but did not give a reason. Why not use LLVM instead, or go straight to machine code?

I haven’t had much time for Newton since the last blog post, but I was able to get past something I have been working on for a while recently. I can now lower match statements to decision trees.

Without generators Newton would not feel very pythonic at all, so I consider it a must-have for the first public release.

I am working on adding record types to Newton. Lets look at the syntax first, then discuss how they relate to algebraic data types and classes.

Newton is a new language being developed. It is not ready to be released yet, but I will use this site to keep friends and interested parties up to date.
