I am making an emacs lisp backend for the Boot compiler, that is, we can get a Boot compiler running in emacs after we compile those Boot compiler source files (written in Boot language) into elisp.
It is almost done. Most work are done in elisp side to adapt the subset of common lisp that Boot compiler generates. Although some changes to Boot sources are necessary due to the ability of elisp. The motivation is that I wish to have a good development environment for spad and mostly, spad compiler. With the language compiler (parser) available in elisp, it should provide semantic and advanced support for developing. (a lot of work need to do though) There was a discussion about the plan to rewrite spad compiler in spad: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/fricas-devel/j1Dy0RextZw/dokLODCj8HMJ I don't know if that changes or there are some new ideas and discussion about spad compiler I don't know. I'd like the spad compiler to be written in spad, and if that's the future development direction, I hope the development tools I will create for Boot language will help.
