It’s also funny because it’s a small, incomplete, incompatible subset of c++… seems like a perfect LLVM / clang rewriter case too, it would be easy to convert and be pure c++. Hell even a clang plugin to put the compile time into one process wouldn’t be awful. But i wonder looking at the rewrites if there’s not a terribly janky way to not need a compiler, if at some runtime cost of contextual control flow info.

Not even that, this should more or less be directly translateable to C++ 20 coroutines.

Also of course years older than them.
