Great Read

I finally got around to reading Brian Ford’s recent post, Improving the Rubinius Bytecode Compiler, today. It’s a really good post if you’re interested in compilers, bytecodes, and self-hosting languages, and definitely worth a read when you have the time. It manages to capture that happy medium between skimming the surface of a bunch of topics while still managing to go into a reasonable amount of depth. It makes me want to reread my copy of the blue book again, which is another sign of a great blog post — it makes me want to go out and do something as a direct result of reading it!
