🐪 Reformed JAPHs: Transpiler
Note: This post was edited for clarity. For the final JAPH in this series, I implemented a simple transpiler that converts a small subset of Scheme programs to equivalent Python programs. It starts with a Scheme program that prints 'just another scheme hacker'. (define (output x) (if (null? x) "" (begin (display (car x)) (if (null? (cdr x)) (display "\n") (begin (display " ") (output (cdr x))))))) (output (list "just" "another" "scheme" "hacker")) The program then tokenizes that Scheme source, parses the token stream, and converts that into Python 3. ...
