A Few Lessons from the Mezzo Project

pdf-format:
18.pdf (0.5 MB)

Abstract

With Mezzo, we set out to design a new, better programming language. In this modest document, we recount our adventure: what worked, and what did not; the decisions that appear in hindsight to have been good, and the design mistakes that cost us; the things that we are happy with in the end, and the frustrating aspects we wish we had handled better.
