I'm interested in language design and interpreting but I'm barely scratching the surface with SICP for now.

That would be very useful for targeting Node.

I'm playing with the online version right now. I already have a parser that interpretes ^ as Math.pow() *happy newbie* On Tue, Oct 11, 2011 at 10:17 PM, David Herman <dher...@mozilla.com> wrote: > > Traceur is very good!
