Crafting Interpreters in Typed Racket - Micah Cantor - RacketCon 2023

My first Typed Racket program was an interpreter for the Lox language from Bob Nystrom’s book Crafting Interpreters. In this talk, I’ll discuss the design decisions I made when translating from Nystrom’s Java, as well as the fun and frustrating aspects of Typed Racket I discovered in the process. I’ll also give a retrospective on learning how to adapt a traditional compiler to Racket’s language-oriented paradigm.
Bio: Micah is a student at Grinnell College with interests in compilers, functional programming, writing and education.
