Lisp interpreter in 90 lines of C++

I've enjoyed reading Peter Norvig's recent articles on Lisp. He implements a Scheme interpreter in 90 lines of Python in the first, and develops it further in the second.

Just for fun I wondered if I could write one in C++. My goals would be

1. A Lisp interpreter that would complete Peter's Lis.py test cases correctly...
2. ...in no more than 90 lines of C++.

Although I've been thinking about this for a few weeks, as I write this I have not written a line of the code. I'm pretty sure I will achieve 1, and 2 will be... a piece of cake!

trait Enum { //DIY enum type
  import java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicReference //Concurrency paranoia

  type EnumVal <: Value //This is a type that needs to be found in the implementing class

  private val _values = new AtomicReference(Vector[EnumVal]()) //Stores our enum values

  //Adds an EnumVal to our storage, uses CCAS to make sure it's thread safe, returns the ordinal
  private final def addEnumVal(newVal: EnumVal): Int = { import _values.{get, compareAndSet => CAS}
    val oldVec = get

Reader Macros in Common Lisp

This post also appears on lisper.in.

Reader macros are perhaps not as famous as ordinary macros. While macros are a great way to create your own DSL, reader macros provide even greater flexibility by allowing you to create entirely new syntax on top of Lisp.

Paul Graham explains them very well in [On Lisp][] (Chapter 17, Read-Macros):

The three big moments in a Lisp expression's life are read-time, compile-time, and runtime. Functions are in control at runtime. Macros give us a chance to perform transformations on programs at compile-time. ...read-macros... do their work at read-time.

Why I Recommend to Avoid Using the go-kit Library

There is a trending 'microservice' library called go-kit. I've been using the go-kit library for a while now. The library provide a lot of convenience integrations that you might need in your service: with service discovery with Consul, distributed tracing with Zipkin, for example, and nice logic utilities such as round robin client side load balancing, and circuit breaking. It is also providing a way to implement communication layer, with support of RPC and REST.

The Elm Architecture is the wrong abstraction for the web

In this article, I'd like to explain why I think The Elm Architecture is fine for small components, but quite harmful for websites based on pages.

Definition and Pros/Cons

First, let's clarify what I mean by "The Elm Architecture".

The Elm Architecture's webpage describes it pretty well.

// Файл "tsconfig.json":
// - устанавливает корневой каталог проекта TypeScript;
// - выполняет настройку параметров компиляции;
// - устанавливает файлы проекта.
// Присутствие файла "tsconfig.json" в папке указывает TypeScript, что это корневая папка проекта.
// Внутри "tsconfig.json" указываются настройки компилятора TypeScript и корневые файлы проекта.
// Программа компилятора "tsc" ищет файл "tsconfig.json" сначала в папке, где она расположена, затем поднимается выше и ищет в родительских папках согласно их вложенности друг в друга.
// Команда "tsc --project C:\path\to\my\project\folder" берет файл "tsconfig.json" из папки, расположенной по данному пути.
// Файл "tsconfig.json" может быть полностью пустым, тогда компилятор скомпилирует все файлы с настройками заданными по умолчанию.
// Опции компилятора, перечисленные в командной строке перезаписывают собой опции, заданные в файле "tsconfig.json".
