GNU Mes may gain delimited continuations in C
Original: Delimited continuations in GNU Mes? Someone has to implement them in # c maybe # live # programming at: https:// twitch.
Developer Ekaitz Zarraga is asking whether delimited continuations could be implemented in GNU Mes, the bootstrap scheme interpreter used in GNU Guix's bootstrapping effort, and suggests writing the feature in C. He is streaming related programming work live on Twitch. The topic is niche but relevant to anyone following reproducible builds and compiler bootstrapping, as Mes plays a key role in building Guile and GCC from source.
Why now: The developer is publicly discussing and live-coding a potential new feature in GNU Mes, drawing interest from the free software bootstrapping community.
