Through a podcast, technologist Marianne Bellotti takes listeners on her journey to write a new language from scratch. It's no easy task, but the host has fun while shedding light on the tools programmers use.

Last week I showed a few ways in which to improve the performance of a Haskell intepreter for a register machine. In this post, we start with the exact same bytecode (same register language, same compiler) and show how to use a much slower language (Clojure) to end up with a much faster interpreter.This series is based on Neil Mitchell's talk "Cheaply writing a fast interpeter". The talk compares a number of approaches to writing an interpreter and tries to find a good balance between complexity and interpreter overhead.The following topics, while important, are out of scope:
