Dear friends !��

I am quite excited to announce the availability of an alpha version

of my latest work around Parsing and Programming Languages at:

Accompanied by ~ 30 min of transcribed eye-candy:

Backed by a crowdfunding campaign ! To get the book and stable release��

successfully out of the door:

Click, download, watch, enjoy ! If you like what you see, support the project ! Tiers

start from 5 and 10 euros per chapter for individuals. Companies supporting

the project can get 6 to 12 days of consultancy, on-site workshops and other perks.

What is all about ??

Lan.d.s is a new solution for language design. From general purpose��

languages like Lise (short for (list (embedding)) to Domain-Specific��

Languages using the MOODs framework, and everything else in between.

Lan.d.s is build around the formalism of Multi-Ordered Grammars,��

which are a possible alternative to CFGs and PEGs in wider use today.��

Multi-ordered grammars (or simply MOGs) aim for a better exploration of ambiguity,��

recursion, ordering and associativity during language design. They can be parsed using the��

Gray Algorithm. After parsing in order to ease the production of executable code

Lan.d.s introduces the Abstract Syntax Language (ASL), which is an OO��

solution for compile-time meta-programming. Finally in order to promote��

language extension and re-use, Lan.d.s employs GrammarTraits, as units of��

composition for both MOG rules and ASL actions.

=================

Some random highlights for the impatient:

* Object subclass: #Prediction uses: Future syntax

* Languages are everywhere, they are all around you, even now in this very sentence.

* Study SICP with a Xerox flavor, while re-inventing some Bell-labs utilities.

* TOC-Board, the TOC for your next talk ;)

Enjoy !
