The <a href="https://github.com/mlochbaum/BQN/blob/master/implementation/../docs/bqn.js">Javascript environment</a> requires about 500 lines of Javascript code including system functions and performance improvements; probably around 250 would be required just to run the core language. This makes it fairly easy to port BQN to new platforms, allowing BQN to be <a href="../doc/embed.html">embedded</a> within other programming languages and interact with arrays or functions in those languages.</p> <p>The way data is represented is part of the VM implementation: it can use native arrays or a custom data structure, depending on what the language supports. An initial implementation will be very slow, but can be improved by replacing functions from the BQN-based runtime with native code. As the VM system can be hard to work with if you're not familiar with it, I advise you to contact me to discuss implementing a VM if you are interested.</p> |
