Manual: contributors
Listing contributors of this language
Table of contents ↑01. External
01.1. PyPy/RPython community & staff
These people have created invaluable tools for creating new interpreters.
The RPython lays out the foundations for the Lever language.
01.2. Laurence Tratt
Wrote the blog posts that led me to try out RPython. "Fast Enough VMs in Fast Enough Time"
01.3. LLVM community
A source to many useful compiler-related papers. The community has been surprisingly helpful even if we have not used the LLVM compiler directly in this project.
01.4. Jeffrey Keggler
The author for the Marpa parsing algorithm. His website and papers collect up bunch of improvements into Earley parser that make it much more useful and easier to implement.
Context-free grammars are an important human-interfacing element these days. The resulting tools I wrote based on Jeffrey's papers were incredibly valuable for the development of my language.
01.5. r/programminglanguages and #proglangdesign
A programming language community sitting in reddit and IRC. This community has provided an useful reflection surface. Once in a while I throw them with ideas and get some useful insights that led to better choices.
01.6. Stackless Python
The Stackless Python is worth mentioning here because they provided green threads into Python, and continuations to RPython. This work allows us to skip all the stupid and non-working "solutions" and concentrate on the difficult problems at asynchronous concurrency.
01.7. Libuv
Libuv lacks features, but for now this library has helped me out a lot. Although this library isn't perfect by any count, it has provided cross-platform features I haven't had to implement myself.
02. Internal
02.1. Alexander Higgins
The first person who contributed significant code to the project and learnt how the runtime is put together.
02.2. Robert Kiraly
Helped me with the documentation, provided advice and support. He's been also testing the build scripts.
02.3. Domantas Mauruča
Wrote a superfluous len(x) -function when we have x.length to retrieve length from a container. The guy contributed early on and provided motivation for improving the documentation.
02.4. Henri Tuhola
I started this project. I am leading the maintenance and development.
