[Using VW Smalltalk]

Is this from T Gen or something else? Sounds neat.

It's something else. I wrote scanner and parser from scratch without any generator program. No big deal for a grammar as small as for Self.

[Status of completition]

Yeah, I finished my lexer and it is time for the parser and code gen. I don't really know how I will deal with some of those issues as well. I'll tell you what, though, Smalltalk is a lot better to debug than C. I sometimes get those nice gdb stack traces with the '??' as the name for each function. :-)

No comment :-) BTW, in the meantime I've nearly finished my parser and I can simulate most expressions. Because of the way I wrote the simulator, I cannot evaluate non-local-returns but otherwise, things work as expected.

Emulating Self with Smalltalk. I'm sure the Self guys will get a kick out of that. Then you could run their Smalltalk emulation system under it.

Probably :-)
