nikita_don Lightweight Static Initialization in C++

Initialization of block-level static objects without the synchronization overhead.

Datatypes are like analytic functions with Taylor series and all.

nikita_don Stackswap coroutines, neither stackful nor stackless

Stack buffers are allocated in the heap (by the "default" rr.c implementation of usched::s_alloc()). Allocating them on the stack, as you seem to be proposing, is a really clever idea: you can do something like rr_thread_init(&startfunc, arg, alloca(BUFFERSIZE)). The buffer is freed when the coroutine is terminated (rr_done()).

nikita_don 3-Lisp: an infinite tower of meta-circular interpreters

A 3-lisp program is conceptually executed by an interpreter written in 3-lisp that is itself executed by an interpreter written in 3-lisp and so on ad infinitum. This forms an infinite tower of meta-circular interpreters, which can be implemented efficiently.
