		afranchuk on March 28, 2019 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: I Built a Lisp Compiler Nice write up! It coincides a bit with my progression: I first wrote a scheme interpreter, then a scheme to LLVM IR compiler, and now I'm working on a custom lisp JIT compiler (the JIT bit plays well into macro expansion). It's interesting how that path naturally unfolds.

I'm curious what you mean by "the JIT bit plays well into macro expansion" since most lisps will expand macros AOT rather than JIT.
