Looking to contribute/help

[Hels15]

Hey, we just finished Chapter 21 in Simple, so if you need help porting any of that stuff, I’d be happy to help out. I checked out the notes you made—they look really cool. I’d be glad to work on a few of the implementations (like the different IR types) and help write up the docs for them.

Are you still using Discord for communication? Or should I reach out via email?

Hey @Hels15

Your contributions would be very welcome!
Maybe this is a good place to discuss, I find Discord is like a private club so I have stopped using it.

so maybe I could write an interpreter for the Stack-based IR, if I'm not mistaken, only compilation is possible as of now(TestCompiler.java).

Or maybe I can work on some SoN related backend stuff?

[dibyendumajumdar]

Stack based IR Interpreter sounds good.

SoN also sounds good - let me sync up with upstream, as its probably easier for me to do so.

[dibyendumajumdar]

I updated the SON implementation - have to start testing it properly now, as I was waiting for the final version

[Hels15]

@dibyendumajumdar do you know any good resources on stack based IR(s)? Like a standard material that worth revisiting before getting started on writing the interpreter?

[dibyendumajumdar]

I have not read it - but this may help?
