# whole-program FP compiler available

## John Nowak — 2009-02-24 20:23:37

    Felix Winkelmann, author of Chicken Scheme, has (sort of) released a

    whole-program FP -> C compiler written in FP. It's not exactly

    concatenative because it uses '.' to denote composition, but this is a

    rather minor deviation. The language is point-free and makes extensive

    use of the cleave combinator (called "construction" in FP). It's still

    in an early state, but it's already bootstrapped and usable:

    I believe Felix is now on the list, so presumably he'd be able to

    comment should anyone have something to say.

     This looks very cool, thanks Felix!
