Kraken
The Kraken Programming Language
(more information online at http://kraken-lang.org/ which is also under construction / needs to be updated / has a try-it-online feature for an older version without partial evaluation)
Heavily inspiried by John Shutt's thesis: https://web.wpi.edu/Pubs/ETD/Available/etd-090110-124904/unrestricted/jshutt.pdf with partial evaluation during compilation to make it efficient.
Currently developing the fourth iteration, a Scheme-like based on a functional Vau calculus JIT compiled for speed.
Working up to a JIT for fexprs by starting with
- slj - a Simple Lisp JIT (WIP)
- clj - a continuation lisp JIT?
- mlj - a mutation lisp JIT?
- flj - a fexpr Lisp JIT?
- ki - A fexpr interpeter with mutation and delimited continuations
- kj - A fexpr+mutation+delimited continuations JIT
