MiniD 1.0 released!

[Benji Smith]

Very nice. If you wouldn't mind (and if you have the time), I'd love to 
read more about the design of the MiniD interpreter. Are you using a 
parser generator for the lexing/parsing? Once you have your AST, do you 
internally generate VM bytecode, or do you walk the AST? What kinds of 
optimizations do you do? Is the VM/Interpreter purely stack-based, or do 
you use simulated registers? How do you implement your dynamic typing?

Have you read any of the documentation of the parrot project? Back when 
they were publishing more regular updates, I enjoyed reading about their 
implementation details. If you're interesting in writing about your 
experiences designing and implementing MiniD, I'd be very interested in 
reading about them.

Thanks!
