<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I've been working on my own C++ implementation of Push for years. Started with Push2 and am somewhere between it and Push3. Right now I just call my work PushX - for unknown. Its been an off again / on again project but it does get closer to completion. I'm actually getting to the point of trying to implement code to do evolution.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I was just looking at the project again and re-read the Push3 documentation.</FONT>

<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I am wondering why the CODE type still has the execution statements like DO, DO*, etc. Keeping them for historical reasons is one possible good answer. But it seems the main reason for CODE is as a workspace for manipulation of code, rather than execution. EXEC is the place for execution in Push3.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">I also wonder if the EXEC.Y, .S, and .K should be CODE instructions and not EXEC. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT COLOR="#000080" SIZE=2 FACE="Comic Sans MS">All these, I guess, are questions about regularizing or making the types orthogonal. As a decades of experience developer I see this as good software engineering. Shouldn't good evolved good follow good engineering practices? (he says a bit tongue in cheek)</FONT></P>
