One of the issues is that as the terms are implemented I need to write a large number of tests.  That&#8217;s okay &#8211; testing is good &#8211; but I end up with a lot of code that gets thrown away at some point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, I decided to write the read, evaluate, print loop (REPL) <em>first<\/em> this time, followed by iterative implementation of the parser and terms.  This means that I can write the tests in the rewriter&#8217;s language and just modify the plumbing as I make changes.  It also means I can &#8220;prime&#8221; the system by writing the bootstrapping library as I go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So that&#8217;s the plan.  The REPL is now done, complete with configuration, history, command line processing, etc<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So now it is on to implementing the terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Putting the REPL before the horse<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":13,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1119,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11\/revisions\/1119"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stacyprowell.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
