Put Evil up on the code site. Evil is my C++ to Scheme compiler. It was intended to be a hack to help me translate a pile of nasty C++ code for the Common Larceny project. It is definitely more of a hack than a production compiler, but it did what I wanted.

    That sounds extremely cool, but I can't find it. Could you provide a link, please?

    Isn't it frustrating when something is right under your nose? (I'm joking, the link could have been added in an edit by the Ministry of Truth.) It does look extremely cool, and I suppose it was a necessary evil. ("A pile of nasty C++ code" sounds like the output of the first half of my career!) I was able to find archive links (it went missing again):

    No license that I could find for Evil. I'm using a variant of TinyCLOS called STklos in my current compiler work. Thanks for posting.

    There is a copy of Evil around here somewhere. Look in old-jrm-code-project.

    Imagine Evil as having an MIT License.
