I am giving my self a hobby challenge: I will implement a full Scheme to native compiler in 48 working hours. It will be published on Github with a time log. This is inspired by the great Scheme48, which, legend says, was written in 48 hours. [1 of 3]

There are two goals: One, I have always loved Scheme and believed that its simplicity and elegance make it easier to implement. Time to put that to the test. Two, to see whether the short timeframe will facilitate easier decisions. [2 of 3]

It should take a few weekends - we will see how it goes. [3 of 3]

I am still in planning mode. A clarification (in case anyone cares): I mean 48 working hours (6 working days), not 48 astronomical hours. The latter might still be possible (and fun!), but impractical with family and work...

LOL, even if I wanted to, it wouldn't be practical. I tend to walk around a lot when thinking :-)

I wanted to write it in Scheme, so it can self-host, but given the 48 hours I might just go with C++.
