Let's say I have a thing that parses some code, compiles and executes it. What would be a good name for that thing?

dharrigan14:07:10

Well, it could be called an interpreter if JIT is performed 🙂

sveri14:07:21

It indirectly is, but it also includes a compilation step, so thats not enough I am afraid.

sveri14:07:44

All that comes to my mind are glue* and Combin** things.

Actually for now I think interpreter is ok, thank you @dharrigan

dharrigan15:07:29

You're welcome 🙂

Is this a namespace name or project name?

carkh15:07:23

many interpreters still have a compilation phase

carkh15:07:28

just not to the assembly level

sveri18:07:39

both, a namespace and project name.
