Prepare technical review of past work on Shaka Scheme #20

Closed CinchBlue closed 7 years ago

CinchBlue commented 7 years ago

The evaluation model for Shaka Scheme is changing to match the heap-based evaluation model as outlined by Dybvig in Three Implementation Models for Scheme. I will go through the codebase and salvage the parts that can remain intact.

Done with our assembled Leadership Committee for Fall 2017 at the first Core Systems meeting.

Preliminary consensus shows that past code from Spring 2017 will remain mostly intact with adaption required, except for our evaluation implementation, which will be completely changing.

Our memory management strategy should also be a little bit more well defined.
