Certificates of Awesome were awarded to "exceptional participants that received a high score." It's the award one step below Second Price Winners.

The winners are here: http://lispinsummerprojects.org/winning-projects .

Waterhouse wrote an Arc interpreter on top of Arc with continuations, and first-class macros and first-class special forms. Scanning over his submission form (http://lispinsummerprojects.org/static/summer/250119.pdf), it also interestingly lets quasiquote be defined as a macro.

Congratulations, zck!

If you want to see my quasiquote, here it is defined:

Congrats to you too!

What's the future path for emiya? It looks really cool, but it seems like you haven't done much with it since last fall.

Well, since you ask. :-) And since the judging is all done, I might as well update it. So. Currently things are broken up into "dyn-cont", which has the Arc interpreter, "arc-boot", which is the code the interpreter will run on startup, and "memory-system", which is where I'm prototyping the stuff the next version of "dyn-cont" will run on: fake assembly code, which is a preparation for writing real assembly code.
