By Madalyn O'Neill May 24, 2021 | 7:17 PM MADISON, Wis. – The pandemic shook things up for all of us: how we work, play and learn. When many schools switched to virtual learning, many families and their students switched schools. Those who didn’t often had to learn a whole new way of schooling. Going to a new school isn’t easy, especially when you never set foot in the building. “It was hard,” sixth-grader Presley Rhindfleisch said. “It was like standing in a room of strangers.” She started middle school over Zoom, finding little to praise about virtual learning. “Ther...

StoneKnifeForth This is StoneKnifeForth, a very simple language inspired by Forth. It is not expected to be useful; instead, its purpose is to show how simple a compiler can be. The compiler is a bit under two pages of code when the comments are removed. This package includes a “metacircular compiler” which is written in StoneKnifeForth and compiles StoneKnifeForth to an x86 Linux ELF executable. There is also a StoneKnifeForth interpreter written in Python (tested with Python 2.4). It seems to be about 100× slower than code emitted by the compiler. (All of the measurements below may ...
