I’m going to come clean right off the bat. The title of this post is my half-hearted attempt at clickbait: what you are about to read can’t reasonably be described as a security issue. It barely even qualifies as advice, in that the thing I intend to demonstrate you should NEVER DO is something you didn’t have any plans to do in the first place. It’s really more of a fun curiosity, and yet another entry in my series of weird things you can do with macros.| Normal Mode
Should a programming language be powerful and let a programmer do a lot, or should it be safe and protect the programmer from bad mistakes? Contrary to what the title insinuates, these are not diametrically opposed attributes. Nevertheless, this is the mindset that underlies notions such as, “macros, manual memory management, etc. are power tools—they’re not supposed to be safe.” If safety and power are not necessarily opposed, why does this notion persist?| Lambda Land
There’s a neat paper Type Systems as Macros by Chang, Knauth, and Greenman [1] that describes how to implement a typed language using an untyped host language and macro expansion. The paper is neat, but I found the code hard to follow—the paper uses a compact notation that’s convenient for print, but not so much for reproducing on one’s own. This post is my attempt to implement and explain in more accessible terms what’s presented in the paper.| Lambda Land
