Hello,
I’m Andrea, an Italian universitary student (2st years of Computer Science
in “La Sapienza” Univesity of Rome). I am writing to find out more about
the project “Write a basic Dis interpreter for web browsers in Dart”.
I found this project so interesting because combines Dart language (I
discovered it few weeks ago but I love it for his sintax very similar to
Java) and DIS. I didn’t know 9Plan and DIS until a few days ago but as soon
as I read DIS specification (
http://www.vitanuova.com/inferno/papers/dis.html) I found this project an
exciting challenge.
The DIS virtual machine is an opportunity to work on that branch of
computer science that I like most: Computer organization and design.
Implement a virtual machine (with its instruction set very close to the
machine language) in a high level, web oriented language should be *really
fun*! Do not you think so?
If possible I would like to receive more information on skill requirements
in order to participate in this project. Any information, links or other
documentation of DIS would be welcomed!
P.S.: I'm still working on my english. If there is any error please forgive
me: I'm debugging! :D
