This presentation will demonstrate how I’ve developed a programming language and virtual machine on an IBM i system. It will focus on the language, named TOP, and what features it covers. As well as this, the virtual machine which interprets and runs an instruction set generated by the programming language – all written in RPG. This presentation will also contain sneak previews of a package manager for IBM i and a debugger for the virtual machine. I’m passionate about IBM i and this originally started out as a college project, but has evolved into something bigger. It will show that developing on IBM i can still be fun.BD
