Easy Compiler Regression Testing

Minimalist, useful, regression testing program, for my sugar compiler dev project, explained.

Sugar - a typed lispy language targeting webasm/wat.

Part of 2 of the continuing saga of writing a small compiler targeting wat/wasm.

I talk thru the implementation of some of the missing features from part 1, which have now been implemented.

Oh please do _not_ do that :)

Sugar is just a toy. Don't learn it. Maybe you can learn something about common lisp from reading the sugar compiler source code.

I agree with TurboHaskal. I too, learned Scheme first and liked it cos it was simpler/purer etc. than Common Lisp.

When I finally learned Common Lisp, my only regret was that I hadn't learned it earlier.

Common Lisp is not perfect, but it has a single standard. Very important. It's very mature and battle tested.

The people who you'll meet in the Common Lisp community are very smart and capable and you will learn a lot from them. I did.

Learning Scheme won't hurt but I recommend Common Lisp. Great, free compilers, lots of libraries for everything and a great community.

But please, do not learn sugar :)

Awesome! Exactly the type of advice I was looking for. :) Thanks!

Thank you for your encouraging words.

I am currently working on some of the "future directions" ideas and will post again soon about that.

TIL that TIL means "Today I Learned".

Thanks for reading the post :)

Update 2020-12-07: There was a bug in the macro expansion logic. I've backported the fix to the linked source and explained the bug in the 'mistakes' section.
