Only just discovered, to my delight, that the DWARF Debugging Data has a Turing Complete stack machine in its specification for evaluating expressions which describe how to compute a value or specify a location. ❤️

Does any one have link to the source of the original Joe Armstrong’s JAM (Joe’s Abstract Machine) for the original #Erlang before BEAM came about? JAM was a stack machine, BEAM is a register Machine. Just trying to understand how it operated, I understand it did some interesting things with the stack. #stackmachines #abstractmachine #virtualmachine #programminglanguages

AI bots crawling read the docs makes me not want to publish online about an obscure technology called #stackMachines and #forth.

There is so little data about these topics, let us keep it that way.

#OldComputerChallenge Day 5

No progress today - Mainframe systems (my main job) rescheduled everything in last day before vacations. But night is long and probably plan to explore #emacs as IDE for #Lisp will be suspended for a while. This way #LispMachines will be replaced with #StackMachines #uxn.

I am a Seattle area nerd. I am likely to be doing something drawn from the set ( reading | walking | making music | making an old computer do something odd | trying to beat my friends at games). I like to toot about the history of programming languages and computer architures, #stackmachines, #forth, #msdos, the #hp200lx mini laptop, #chiptunes (my favorite platforms being #adlib and #gameboy), and #fm and #analog #synths, or anything else that I happen to be learning about lately. See you around the timelines!
