Posting nevertheless
Philip thinks that, in order to keep my gloriously uninterrupted string of postings intact, I should write a report also when I work only on my report. So, today I worked on chapter 2: The SLinks language, and wrote about 4 pages on the syntax of the language. I also worked on putting order in my bibliography - I learnt to use BibTeX and started the ordering yesterday - which is horribly time consuming.
I was astonished by how little I wrote today. Then also, experience shows that my writing speed tends to increase constantly while writing such papers. Some kind of intellectual inertia, I suppose.
Currently, the proposed chapter list is the following:
- Introduction
- The SLinks language
- Compiler structure
- Automatic type inference
- Database access and optimisations
- Conclusion
