description sounds like it is specific to the FoNC /
VPRI projects...
Sorry about that. I left the original main page, figuring
that people would just start a new page and when some
useful content had been accumulated we'd rearrange things
on the main page. Misconception corrected.
yeah, cool.
(was gone much of the day, recently got back).
I went and created this page (partly as a test):
http://vpri.org/fonc_wiki/index.php/Dynamic_typing
I generally tried to keep it fairly generic.
I opted with this for the moment, rather than describing my
own stuff, as I am not certain the level of
"project-specificness" which is appropriate.
ended up writing a few more articles, mostly about generic
programming-language stuff, but then was thinking that maybe the
point of this is not to do like a half-assed Wikipedia and
describe a bunch of general topics that probably most people here
already know about (type-systems, class/instance and prototype OO,
vtables and method dispatching, ...).
even if, yes, I found some of this stuff personally relevant when
implementing my own VM stuff. (sadly, much of my own thinking
largely boils down to personal experiences and trivia...).
Practical experience, thoughtfully recorded, often helps in learning.
I guess the alternative would be that "we" (myself and others on
this list?) write about our respective projects, and then comment
on them?...
Having a glossary available for new learners is valuable, especially
when terms are hyper-linked either to internal or other wiki pages
such as those on Wikipedia.
http://vpri.org/fonc_wiki/index.php/Glossary
When we get the version upgrade, we should install
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpecialInterwiki
, which allows convenient interwiki linking.
added more content, doesn't seem like anyone else is adding content
though...
was sort of hoping interesting stuff would pop up, and partial
uncertainty as to how objective some of the added content is, where my
perspective is naturally limited to my own experiences.
did describe my language some here:
http://vpri.org/fonc_wiki/index.php/BGBScript
however, this just describes the language, rather than the surrounding
VM framework in general (may go do this next).
it also does not describe the language in any comprehensive sense.
or such...
