Hello, I'm writing a var'aq interpreter in C. It's in a very preliminar stage right now, but there's enough there to play with the language a bit. var'aq...
Hello again, I updated the my experimental interpreter - most of var'aq Level 0 is supported now, and I got rid of a couple of bugs. Not of release quality...
As you know, Mauro has given us a C implementation of var'aq, with the added feature of currying. I like the idea; however, I've had a bit of a problem coming...

Hello, It's mentioned somewhere in the var'aq specs that support for concurrency should be added some time in the future. Anyone knows how this is going to...
