Mes -- Maxwell Equations of Software
|
|
|
|
Mes aims to create an entirely source-based bootstrapping path. The
|
|
target is to [have GuixSD] boostrap from a minimal, easily inspectable
|
|
binary --that should be readable as source-- into something close to
|
|
R6RS Scheme.
|
|
|
|
As bootstrapping is presumably easiest and probably most fun with
|
|
Scheme, the next step for Mes is mescc: a C compiler/linker to
|
|
boostrap into GNU Gcc and GNU Guile, possibly via Tiny-CC.
|
|
|
|
Mes is inspired by The Maxwell Equations of Software: [[http://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/LISP/book/LISP%25201.5%2520Programmers%2520Manual.pdf][LISP-1.5]] -- John
|
|
McCarthy page 13.
