Meditating on the Wizard Book and language design: Snippets

Darius J Chuck

2023-12-01

This is a part of Meditating on the Wizard Book and language design.

Originally written here.

Here I have translated all code snippets from the Wizard Book aka SICP (specifically “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs”, Second Edition, 1996, by Harold Abelson and Gerald Jay Sussman with Julie Sussman.) to a semi-imaginary programming language based on Jevko.

The basis for the language was Jevkalk, a little prototype I played around with some time earlier. As I went along with the translation, I designed/sketched out the necessary syntax and features, adding comments where appropriate.

This was an exercise in programming language design and a daily meditative practice for me. It took me just over half a year, starting in February 2023, ending in August. I have translated page-by-page, aiming for at least one page per day.

All sections in this document correspond exactly to the numbered pages in the book.

Note: at this point I am introducing string syntax not implemented in current (2023-03-13) Jevkalk – display [`***`]. This is based on Djevko. To implement that, Jevkalk would need to be ported into Djevko (perhaps resulting in Djevkalk).

As I am porting these snippets, likely more and more novel syntax will be introduced. I will try to always include a note when this happens.

At some point, if the gods decide it good, I shall implement all these noveltes into the language.

Let’s see what happens if I change the style a bit in terms of spaces.

      *[[x] square[a]]
      *[[y] [b]]

]

define[f[[x] [y]]
  fun[[[a] [b]]
    +[
      *[[x] square[a]]
      *[[y] [b]]
      *[[a] [b]]
    ]
  ]
  .[
    +[[1] *[[x] [y]]]
    -[[1] [y]]
  ]
]

Introducing let (not in Jevkalk as of 2023-03-22).

define[f[[x] [y]]
  let[
    [
      [a] +[[1] *[[x] [y]]]
      [b] -[[1] [y]]
    ]
    +[
      *[[x] square[a]]
      *[[y] [b]]
      *[[a] [b]]
    ]
  ]
]

Note: decided to remove the brackets around var-exp pairs from the original Scheme syntax.

let [
  [
    <var 1> <exp 1>
    <var 2> <exp 2>
    .
    .
    .
    <var n> <exp n>
  ]
  <body>
]

Note: this is not in SICP, but the above code could also be written as:

define[f[[x] [y]]
  define[[a] +[[1] *[[x] [y]]]]
  define[[b] -[[1] [y]]]
  +[
    *[[x] square[a]]
    *[[y] [b]]
    *[[a] [b]]
  ]
]

65

fun[
  [[<var 1>]...[<var n>]]
  <body>
]
.[
  [<exp 1>]
  .
  .
  .
  [<exp n>]
]

+[
  let[
    [[x] [3]]
    +[[x] *[[x] [10]]]
  ]
  [x]
]

let[
  [
    [x] [3]
    [y] +[[x] [2]]
  ]
  *[[x] [y]]
]

The first expression could also be written in Jevkalk using ap:

ap[
  fun[
    [[<var 1>]...[<var n>]]
    <body>
  ][
    [<exp 1>]
    .
    .
    .
    [<exp n>]
  ]
]

Perhaps there is a better name for that construct.

Seeing what happens if I introduce more spacing inside brackets.

Alternative syntax for lambdas I’ve been thinking about:

define[
  deriv[g]
  [
    fun[x]
    /[
      -[  g[+[ [x] [dx] ]]  g[x]  ]
      [dx]
    ]
  ]
]

define[
  newton transform[g]
  [
    fun[x]
    -[ 
      [x]
      /[ g[x] ap[deriv[g][x]] ]
    ]
  ]
]

define [
  sqrt[x]
  newton's method[
    [  fun[y]  -[ square[y] [x] ]  ]
    [1.0]
  ]
]

define[
  sqrt[x]
  fixed point of transform[
    [  fun[y]  /[ [x] [y] ]  ]
    [average damp]
    [1.0]
  ]
]

So:

fun[  [y]  -[ square[y] [x] ]  ]

would become:

[  fun[y]  -[ square[y] [x] ]  ]

this could technically become:

[  [y]  -[ square[y] [x] ]  ]

dropping the fun “keyword” completely.

Fun to think about.

76

Note: using the proposed new syntax for lambdas.

define[
  sqrt[x]
  fixed point of transform[
    [  fun[y]  -[ square[y] [x] ]  ]
    [newton transform]
    [1.0]
  ]
]

77

newton's method[  cubic[ [a] [b] [c] ]  [1]  ]

ap[ double[double[double]][inc][5] ]

ap[  compose[ [square] [inc] ][5]  ]

ap[  repeated[ [square] [2] ][5]  ]

Technically, could get rid of the ap “keyword” as well:

[ double[double[double]][inc][5] ]

[  compose[ [square] [inc] ][5]  ]

[  repeated[ [square] [2] ][5]  ]

But that feels like going too far.

Introducing Quotation!

So here we’re using S-expressions not to write MIT Scheme, but to encode some lists. Similarly, the first two lists could be sensibly translated to Jevko (as opposed to Jevkalk) as:

[ [a] [b] [c] [d] ]

[ [23] [45] [17] ]

The third list could be:

[  [ [Norah] [12] ]  [ [Molly] [9] ]  [ [Anna] [7] ]  [ [Lauren] [6] ]  [ [Charlotte] [4] ]  ]

or, more succinctly:

[ Norah[12] Molly[9] Anna[7] Lauren[6] Charlotte[4] ]

Now the following two S-expressions are also meant to be just S-expressions (and not code), but happen to look like Scheme. So our translation will look like Jevkalk (but is meant to be just Jevko):

*[  +[ [23] [45] ]  +[ [x] [9] ]  ]

define[ fact[n]
  ?[
    =[ [n] [1] ]  [1]
    *[  [n]  fact[ -[[n][1]] ]  ]
  ]
]

143

define[ [a] [1] ]

define[ [b] [2] ]

list[ [a] [b] ]

list[ '[a] '[b] ]

list[ '[a] [b] ]

Note: we don’t need separate quote[...].

144

Now, a somewhat naive translation of the code at the top of the page would be:

car[  '[ [a] [b] [c] ]  ]

cdr[  '[ [a] [b] [c] ]  ]

But this creates a problem. car and cdr are well-defined for lists, but not really for arbitrary jevkos.

So here we are forced to continue to flesh out the thread from page 110.

One way to proceed would be to define car and cdr only for lists. So this would be valid:

car[  list[ [a] [b] [c] ]  ]

cdr[  list[ [a] [b] [c] ]  ]

While the above wouldn’t. ' would actually mean quote rather than list, like I imagined previously.

Now for quoted jevkos we would need a separate set for primitive functions for analysis.

Let’s imagine how could such functions look like.

I’ll leave proper naming for later. First let’s make up a function f1, which would be somewhat like car and could be applied like so:

f1[  '[ [a] [b] [c] ]  ]

and for this application it would return:

[a]

Or should that be:

'[a]

? Not sure yet, let’s not commit to either for the time being. Let’s say it returns:

?[a]

where ? represents the prefix being empty or equal to ' (or maybe something else).

Now what should f1 return for something like:

f1[  '[ x1[x2] y1[y2] ]  ]

Here I will take my reasoning process offline. I am leaving it to serve as an example of how one might go about designing something like this.


Upon some reflection, we may imagine the following useful functions:

fsj[jevko]

fsp[jevko]

fsj takes a jevko and returns its first subjevko’s jevko, e.g.:

fsj[ '[x1[x2] y1[y2]] ]

would return

'[x2]

fsp takes a jevko and returns its first subjevko’s prefix, e.g.:

fsp[ '[x1[x2] y1[y2]] ]

would return

'[x1]

Note: the prefix is returned as a jevko (perhaps it should be a string instead – or there should be a separate function or conversion for that).

Another useful function would be rss:

rss[jevko]

rss takes a jevko and returns it sans the first subjevko, e.g.:

rss[ '[x1[x2] y1[y2]] ]

would return

'[ y1[y2]]

Homoiconic output

A provisional name for a concept I’ve been thinking about on and off for a long time, can be defined something like:

Homoiconic output/representation of a piece of data is the code that when executed would construct an equivalent piece of data.

Rephrased:

A homoiconic text representation of data refers to the code that, when executed, can construct an identical replica of the original data using the smallest possible amount of code.

Something like that.

It’s important to note here that most if not all languages, including MIT Scheme don’t adhere to this. E.g. (list 1 2 3) is displayed as (1 2 3). (1 2 3) can’t be then executed to obtain the same list.

Jevkalk-specific alternatives to memq

This is the original definition of memq translated to Jevkalk:

define[  memq[ [item] [x] ]
  ?[
    null?[x]  [false]
    eq?[ [item] car[x] ]  [x]
    memq[
      [item]
      cdr[x]
    ]
  ]
]

This won’t do. We would be better served by a tailor-made equivalent or equivalents, e.g. memj which would use fsj and rss instead of car and cdr, memp which would use fsp and rss, maybe memjp which would use an alternative of both. Perhaps we could write a generalized member function in Jevkalk which would look something like this:

define[  member[ [item] [x] ]
  ?[
    null?[x]  [false]
    or[
      equal?[ [item] fsj[x] ]
      equal?[ [item] fsp[x] ]
    ]  [x]
    member[ [item] rss[x] ]
  ]
]

where equal? would signify generalized structural equality.

Let’s translate the rest of the code with that in mind.


So instead of:

memq[  '[apple]  '[ [pear] [banana] [prune] ]  ]

memq[  '[apple]  '[ [x] apple[sauce] [y] [apple] [pear] ]  ]

we’d have something like:

memj[  '[apple]  '[ [pear] [banana] [prune] ]  ]

memj[  '[apple]  '[ [x] apple[sauce] [y] [apple] [pear] ]  ]

Then we have this (which is rather uncontroversial):

list[ '[a] '[b] '[c] ]

list[ list['[george]] ]

Then instead of this:

cdr[  '[ x1[x2] y1[y2] ]  ]

we’d have

rss[  '[ x1[x2] y1[y2] ]  ]

Now this naive translation:

cadr[  '[ x1[x2] y1[y2] ]  ]

should be this instead:

fsj[  '[ x1[x2] y1[y2] ]  ]

Note: we are assuming our expressions are lists, rather than jevkos, e.g.:

list[ '[+] [2] [3] ]

rather than

'[  +[ [2] [3] ]  ]

With that in mind, we proceed.

Now, we shall introduce the pj? predicate which will be used in place of symbol? in the definition of variable?:

define[  variable?[x]  pj?[x]  ]

pj? takes a jevko and returns true if it is primitive. A primitive jevko is one which does not have any subjevkos. E.g.:

pj?[ '[x] ]  true
pj?[ '[[a][b]] ]  false
pj?[ '[] ]  not sure; let's say true for now

Now we continue translating.

    variable?[v1]
    variable?[v2]
    eq?[ [v1] [v2] ]

define[  sum?[x]
  and[

    eq?[ car[x] '[+] ]

Note: cadr, caddr, etc. can be defined for lists.

Alternative definitions

Here I introduce some functions to manipulate jevkos and make the whole thing based around jevkos rather than lists.

'number? checks if a jevko can be evaluated to a number (looks like a number literal).

The apostrophes in the signature of deriv[ '[exp] '[var] ] supress evaluation of the arguments (they are interpreted verbatim, as jevkos).

define[  deriv[ '[exp] '[var] ]
  ?[
    'number?[exp]  [0]
    variable?[exp]  ?[
      same variable?[ [exp] [var] ]  [1]
      [0]
    ]
    sum?[exp]  make sum[
      deriv[ addend[exp] [var] ]
      deriv[ augend[exp] [var] ]
    ]
    product?[exp]  make sum[
      make product[
        multiplier[exp]
        deriv[ multiplicand[exp] [var] ]
      ]
      make product[
        deriv[ multiplier[exp] [var] ]
        multiplicand[exp]
      ]
    ]
    error[
      [`unknown expression type -- DERIV`]
      [exp]
    ]
  ]
]

name? checks if a jevko looks like an identifier.

define[  variable?['[x]]  'name?[x]  ]

'$ constructs jevkos and allows splicing in various parts from variables.

define[  make sum[ '[a1] '[a2] ]
  '$[ +[$[a1]$[a2]] ]
]

define[  make product[ '[m1] '[m2] ]
  '$[ *[$[m1]$[m2]] ]
]

'nonempty? checks if a jevko has at least one subjevko. Maybe there is a better name for this one.

subs[jevko] returns the list of the jevko’s subjevkos.

at[list] returns a function to select elements from the list. The function accepts 0-based indices. It should also work for negative indices, to select elements backwards from the end of the list (-1 is the last element).

prefix[subjevko] returns the subjevko’s prefix as text.

. is a placeholder variable that always holds the value of the previous expression.

define[  sum?['[x]]
  and[
    'nonempty?[x]
    equals?[
      [[x] subs[.] at[.].[0] prefix[.]]
      ['+']
    ]
  ]
]

as jevko[subjevko] wraps the subjevko in a jevko.

Note: for apply generic to work properly, get needs to accept the following forms as interchangeable:

list[ '[a] '[b] '[c] ]
'[ [a] [b] [c] ]

get is thus far not defined in the book, but we should take that into account later.

Anyway, to accept these forms as interchangeable, we shall define conversion functions:

define[  list of jevkos->jevko[l]
  jevko[
    map[ 
      fun[  [j]  subjevko[ [''] [j] ]  ]
      [l]
    ]
    ['']
  ]
]

define[  jevko->list of jevkos[j]
  map[
    fun[  [s]  get jevko[s]  ]
    subs[j]
  ]
]

where get jevko[subjevko] extracts the subjevko's jevko.

The same functions with added type checking:

define[  list of jevkos->jevko[l]
  ?[
    list?[l]  jevko[
      map[ 
        fun[  [j]
          ?[
            jevko?[j]  subjevko[ [''] [j] ]
            error[ ['Expected jevko, got '] [j] ]
          ]
        ]
        [l]
      ]
      ['']
    ]
    error[ ['Expected list, got '] [l] ]
  ]
]

define[  jevko->list of jevkos[j]
  ?[
    jevko?[j]  map[
      fun[  [s]  get jevko[s]  ]
      subs[j]
    ]
    error[ ['Expected jevko, got '] [j] ]
  ]
]

Where jevko?[value] checks whether a value is a jevko.

Perhaps it would be sensible to specify a more organized naming convention(s) for selector and constructor functions, e.g.:

selectors start with 'get'
get subs[jevko]
get jevko[subjevko]

constructors start with 'make'
make jevko[ [subs] [suffix] ]
make sub[ [prefix] [jevko] ]

[certain?] selectors could also be invokable something like:

at[jevko].['subs']
at[subjevko].['jevko']

i.e. as “fields”. The generalized at would check the type of its argument and return a function which accepts the name of a selector. An editor could autocomplete the names.

The syntax here is:

The brackets around the args are discarded in exchange for single-expression body. The body could always be made into a block however.

An idea: a list' function that works much like Scheme’s quote applied to a list: it returns a list of unevaluated jevkos. That’s in contrast to ' which returns a jevko.

list'[ [a] [b] ]

The equivalent of begin in Jevkalk is simply:

[ [exp_1] [exp_2] ... [exp_k] ]
define[  [new withdraw]
  let[
    [balance]  [100]
    ?[

        [balance]
      ]
      [`Insufficient funds`]
    ]
  ]

An Unified Call Syntax I’ve been developing would also allow this:

[balance].set![-[[balance][amount]]]

or even:

[balance].set![[balance].-[amount]]

More on that later.

If we redefine make account’s dispatch as:

define[  dispatch[m]
  ?[
    eq?[ [m] [`withdraw`] ]  [withdraw]
    eq?[ [m] [`deposit`] ]  [deposit]
    error[
      [`Unknown request -- MAKE-ACCOUNT`]
      [m]
    ]
  ]

i.e. we accept strings instead of “symbols”, the above code will look nicer:

acc[`withdraw`].[60]

acc[`deposit`].[40]

acc[`withdraw`].[60]

Note that the above definition uses strings instead of “symbols”, so it’s inconsistent with the previous code that assumed the existence of get and put operations. That would need to be adjusted accordingly. Perhaps at a later time. For now the purpose of this translation is to explore different language features, learn about them, apply the spirit of minimalism, come up with new ideas in the process, filter and solidify these ideas.

As I get to the end of the book or sufficiently far, I may do a round of editing that will make things neat.

BTW I’m thinking that the let construct may be entirely done away with in favor of (generalized?) define. Also I may want to replace cons, cdr, car with higher-level modern equivalents. In fact I am forming an idea for a language codenamed JevoScript which would be compiled to JavaScript and highly-interoperable with it. It would be a thin Jevko-based syntactic layer that generalizes certain language constructs, streamlining and simplifying JavaScript, fixing some design errors, making the language fully expression oriented. It would take the best from Scheme (which after all, is the root of JavaScript) and JavaScript, combining the simplicity of the former with the modern feeling and ease of use of the latter. We shall see how this develops.

Now let’s slightly modify that to match how Jevkalk happens to be defined:

define[  eval definition[ [exp] [env] ]

define[  assignment?[exp]

]

define[  assignment variable[exp]  cadr[exp]  ]

define[  assignment value[exp]  caddr[exp]  ]

To better match Jevkalk we’d do something like:

note: ignoring definitions of number? and string? for now
define[  self evaluating?[exp]
  ?[
    number?[exp]  [true]
    string?[exp]  [true]
    [false]
  ]
]

note: ignoring definition of identifier? for now
define[  variable?[exp]  identifier?[exp]  ]

define[  quoted?[exp]  prefix=[ [exp] ['quote] ]  ]

define[  text of quotation[exp]  [exp].jevko[]  ]

define[  prefix=[ [exp] [tag] ]
  ?[
    subjevko?[exp]  eq?[ prefix[exp] [tag] ]
    [false]
  ]
]

define[  assignment?[exp]
  prefix=[ [exp] ['set!] ]
]

define[  assignment variable[exp]  [exp].jevko[].subs[0]  ]

define[  assignment value[exp]  [exp].jevko[].subs[1]  ]

370

Dumb translation from Scheme:

define[  definition?[exp]
  tagged list?[ [exp] ['define] ]
]

define[  definition variable[exp]
  ?[
    symbol?[cadr[exp]]  cadr[exp]
    caadr[exp]
  ]
]

define[  definition value[exp]
  ?[
    symbol?[cadr[exp]]  caddr[exp]
    make lambda[
      cdadr[exp]   formal parameters
      cddr[exp]    body
    ]
  ]
]

define[  lambda?[exp]  tagged list?[ [exp] ['lambda] ]  ]

define[  lambda parameters[exp]  cadr[exp]  ]

define[  lambda body[exp]  cddr[exp]  ]

define[  make lambda[ [parameters] [body] ]
  cons[ ['lambda] cons[[parameters][body]] ]
]

However the Jevkalk forms are not like Scheme, but instead:

define[  [<var>]  [<value>]  ]

define[  <var>[<parameter>]  [<body>]  ]
define[  <var>[ [<parameter_1>] ... [<parameter_n>] ]  [<body>]  ]

define[  [<var>]  fun[ [<parameter>] [<body>] ]  ]
define[  [<var>]  fun[ [[<parameter_1>]...[<parameter_n>]] [<body>] ]  ]

Therefore we would have something like:

define[  definition?[sub]
  prefix=[ [sub] ['define] ]
]

define[  definition variable[sub]
  define[  [first]  [[sub].jevko[].subs[0]]  ]
  ?[
    identifier?[first]  [[first].jevko[].suffix[]]
    [[first].prefix[]]
  ]
]

define[  definition value[sub]
  define[  [j]  [[sub].jevko[]]  ]
  define[  [first]  [[j].subs[0]]  ]
  ?[
    identifier?[first]  [[j].subs[1]]
    make fun[
      note: using whole jevko rather than only its subs
      [[first].jevko[]]        formal parameters
      [[j].subs[].slice[1]]    body
    ]
  ]
]

define[  fun?[exp]  prefix[ [exp] ['fun] ]  ]

define[  fun parameters[exp]  [[exp].jevko[].subs[0].jevko[].subs[]]  ]

define[  fun body[exp]  [[exp].jevko[].subs[0].slice[1]]  ]

define[  make fun[ [parameters] [body] ]
  subjevko[
    ['fun]  
    jevko[

        note: assuming list can handle special ...spread parameters

      note: assume default suffix blank

define[  last exp?[seq]  null?[cdr[seq]]  ]

define[  first exp[seq]  car[seq]  ]

define[  rest exps[seq]  cdr[seq]  ]

Jevkalk version:

(skipping if)

define[  block?[exp]  prefix=[ [exp] ['] ]  ]

define[  block actions[exp]  [[exp].jevko[].subs[]]  ]

define[  last exp?[seq]  =[ [[seq].length[]] [1] ]  ]

define[  first exp[seq]  [[seq].[0]]  ]

define[  rest exps[seq]  [[seq].slice[1]]  ]

372

define[  first operand[ops]  car[ops]  ]

define[  rest operands[ops]  cdr[ops]  ]

?[
  >[ [x] [0] ]  [x]
  =[ [x] [0] ]  [ display['zero] [0] ]
  -[x]
]

only sensible to translate this literally at this point:
if[
  >[ [x] [0] ]  [x]
  if[
    =[ [x] [0] ]  begin[
      display['zero]
      [0]
    ]
    -[x]
  ]
]

Jevkalk version would be something like:

    last exp?[seq]  first exp[seq]
    make block[seq]

rule[  append to form[ [[?u]...[?v]] [?y] [[?u]...[?z]] ]

Likely things like:

list'[  [meeting]  [administration]  [ [Friday] [1pm] ]  ]

and other lists should have had the form:

meeting[  [administration]  [ [Friday] [1pm] ]  ]

That would be more consistent with the language in the book.

As it stands, I have different syntax for rules defined by user (which are like functions) and data (which I considered to be plain lists).

Confusion comes from the fact that unquoted lists here are used both to call functions (rules) and to store data.

list'[  [?x]  [next to]  [1]  [in]  [ [2] [1] [3] [1] ]  ]

Update: confusion continues.

On second thought, the following would be more correct in line with the observation from 451:

rule[  ?x[ [next to] [?y] [in] [[?x][?y]...[?u]] ]  ]

rule[  ?x[ [next to] [?y] [in] [[?v]...[?z]] ]
  ?x[ [next to] [?y] [in] [?z] ]
]

?x[  [next to]  [?y]  [in]  [ [1] [[2][3]] [4] ]  ]

?x[  [next to]  [1]  [in]  [ [2] [1] [3] [1] ]  ]

So ?x here is the operator.

The syntax of this logic language only behaves like Scheme in the outermost layer of queries. The compound “arguments” of the queries are not applications, as they would be in Scheme, but they are simple unevaluated lists.

Note: overall I think that the distiction between strings and symbols is not exactly necessary. Just having immutable strings, the way JavaScript has had for most of its lifetime is enough for most purposes. Most if not all of the code in SICP would work the same way if the language used immutable strings instead of symbols. This would also obviate the need for the string->symbol and symbol->string conversion functions used on this page. I’ve been actually translating the code with the tacit assumption that symbols = strings for some time now.
