Staging the typed interpretor. Code to work on in class.
The code for a typed interpretor with variables.
Tags and Labels, reflecting names into the type-name-space. First Try.

interpretor with variables we developed in class as
the base for your example. Implement as many 'optimizations' as you
can think of.

Wednesday April 14, 2009
Due Today:
Exercise 25 page 39 of Programming in Omega due today.
Announcements:
Class Topic:
After our discussion last time, I have thought of more ways to
view Tags and Labels as object language variables.
view1 - A language with a fixed number of variables, and a fixed number of variables.
view2 - Infinite number of positions by using natural numbers, but still a fixed number of variables.
view3 - Using built in Tags and Labels for infinite positions and variables.
view4 - Using position only. This is called De Bruijn indices.
Assigned today:
