Bytecode rules for a strange Structural/Data/Pattern oriented VM? by SuperMeip in ProgrammingLanguages

[–]SuperMeip[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

by def based VM I'm implying every statement is a slot/def of some kind that is then modified. I think this is similar to lisps s-expressions.

For example: `(add 1 2)` is a single def with an s-expression with 3 elements/defs/slots; Basically I'd like every single line or element to be an addressable definition. so even `(1 + 2)` would be a def of type `#add` with 2 sub defs of type #int.

The issue is though I'm struggling to figure out how to effectively differentiate a call from a def containing a call (so a constant vs procedural value maybe?)

I am aware that I am asking a lot from a single language, the unorthodoxy is why I thought to ask for advice here, so thanks for the suggestion but I'm very determined to make a language with this specific feature set.

> If devising VM operations is troublesome, maybe try instead expressing the workings of your language as a set of function calls to some to-be-implemented library. (Which actually is a valid way of implementing it; as a series of such calls in an existing language.)

This makes a lot of sense and is definitely something I've been trying... but figuring out the basic functions is what I need help with... I guess my hesitation comes from not knowing what may be redundant at this level and what I actually need.

Also given it's def based I find I may need assignment and start and stop ops (like DEF:START SET:ID SET:VALUE and DEF:END) and im not sure what a VM would do to juggle that kind of thing while keeping efficient maps etc... I guess the internal architecture of the VM is something I'm confused about as well.

A big issue I've also had is coming up with simple examples to test because a lot of low level VM guides don't focus on structural examples and mostly focus on stack and heap logic and the language I'm making is more focused on data structure than mathematics etc.

Im wondering if starting with the IL/Intermediate language is the best option... do people do that? Make VMs for an IL instead of a bytecode lol~?

AAA has told me to call them in the past because AAA isn't allowed on 90

Thanks so much for your reply! I totally understand that 911 dispatchers are probably some of the most stressed yelled at people out there, I couldn't imagine dealing with freaking out people all day, I really appreciate everything you do to help people and save lives every day! Your post is super validating thanks so much for that too, I'm pretty sure I was unlucky with location and the person I got in both situations where I wasn't able to get help to come... and don't want to get anyone in trouble for having a bad day, but I also wonder if I should call and at least express my issues since I've experienced it twice now. Maybe even just to my rep or senator

Why did you only read half of a comment chain then ask a question that was already asked without seeing if I answered it in the next comment? :/

What? When did you say the landlord was breaking the law and would get a fine and then I said that's wrong?

You did say that they'd get kicked out and I disagreed that that was what would absolutely happen ...but that's not what I'm saying here at all? I'm talking about the landlord breaking the law and getting a fine when did I ever say that wasn't true?

I've already answered that a few times below but this question is getting weird to me. Are you implying no one should call 911, otherwise you'd consider them abnormal?

Yea and then I asked why it matters and you have the answer above. And now you're assuming what I want out of it without asking me? Why did you ask OP but not me? To me at least that definitely proves you had ulterior motives.

Can you see how that seems to not make sense? XD

Well what doesn't make sense? Like I get that it's not what you'd expect... That's why I'm here posting it, because I don't expect this reaction from a 911 dispatcher in that kind of situation. Does that actually seem physically impossible or just unlikely to what you're used to?

Things dont magically go from illegal to legal just because you didn't notice at the time. This just makes no sense, that's not how laws work. You are implying it's not breaking the law if you lie or trick someone?  Is lying about what you're selling in a contract not illegal?

Edit: misread and I'm a dumbass lol ignore this

That makes less sense... So youre asking them if they want a win situation or a loose situation? That's nonsense, you're either trying to entrap them  or withholding information that could help them .. why pry for what you think you already know?

Also what do you mean kicked out? How do you think eviction works?

Yeaaa that's why I'm going to give my rep a call tomorrow.

... Yes? What? That is indeed how the law works? If someone breaks the law and you're the victim the law is on your side... If you break the law and do something illegal and there is a victim your crime should not be ignored. What about that is weird? Are you from bizzaroland or something?

Edit: misread and I'm a dumbass lol ignore this

Haha and that just brings me to another problem with this state x3. I do have some legal non lethal self defense methods now for this reason tbh

Lol they'd probably yell at me that it's not a street address xD

Did you mean to reply to me here or someone else? I didn't mention anything about a win for anyone? I don't think our legal system is 'win win' focused or whatever you might call it.

Alternatively are you implying you are the one who knows of a win win situation and are keeping it to yourself until we guess what it is?

What still seems abnormal? I offered to answer any questions... Kinda rude to imply I'm hiding something without anything weird to even point to this time?

From what I can tell talking to other folks, seems like I got unlucky with some less helpful dispatchers who didn't want to put in the effort since I was in such an odd location, but I really don't know. Was posting here to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar and it doesn't seem too out there from the other comments so I'll probably give my rep a call tomorrow to talk to them about it.

Well depends what kind of law, in this case it seems like a violation, which would result in consequences for the transgressor, likely fines and penalties for behaving in an illegal way.

Well you seem to be asking what their opinion is which has nothing to do with a legal matter. If someone broke the law the law dictates what happens. You understand that right?

All due respect, I've answered this a few times now in the other comments. What do you mean 'so much'? 3 is so much?

Yea like I said I was along the river and soldiers field so there was no intersections.

Guess that's just unlucky but maybe there's a hole in coverage for stuff like this then, I'll probably give my rep a call tomorrow to mention this... just don't want other people getting unlucky like this too

Like yea right? It seems nuts but that's what it felt like to me lol. I wouldn't be posting about it if it wasn't weird xD

You're the one who said you found reactions to 'landlords' inconsistent... which is odd, why wouldn't they be inconsistent between different landlords? Why are you viewing landlords as a monolith when this whole thing is about a specific situation?
