Abstract
A1: After graduating from the Department of Mathematics at Hokkaido University (in Sapporo) in 1965, I engaged in developing an interpreter and a compiler for Lisp 1.5 at Hitachi Central Research Laboratory. The work was done based only on McCarthy’s manual [12]. When I was implementing the compiler, I realized that I was just looking at the interpreter written in the manual. Then the idea that a compiler could be generated from an interpreter came to me. I think this idea is fundamental. Other results such as partial evaluation and self-application follow the idea with good luck.
