Designing my own language rebo, I’m at a point where I want to implement a form of control-flow-changing operations. This post is primarily a braindump of ideas I had thinking about the implementation. Let’s embark on journey through those ideas in the form of thought experiments.

Rust Const-fn Compile-time SUBLEQ Interpreter

2018-10-15

With the minimal subset of const fn becoming stable soon (in the second next Rust version), I wanted to give const fns a try and test what is possible with them.

I had some fun with associated constants and implemented compile time Scalar, Matrix-Vector and Matrix-Matrix Multiplication. Then I decided to go ahead and implement a compile-time Gauß algorithm on 3×4 matrixes, which prints the intermediate right-upper matrix and the final solution of the linear equation.
