But Maru already *does* this. The current version of Maru actually has this in
its source tree: an implementation of Smalltalk in Maru, using Ometa to specify
Smalltalk syntax.

OK I found Ometa.pdf . Thank you for that.
BorgLisp is a generalization of the COLA idea if mixing Smalltalk with
Lisp. Instead of limiting it to just Smalltalk and Lisp it is very
easy to generalize it to all languages by using the lisp idiom of
using the first thing in the list to specify the
"Borglisp", hey?
Sounds like Ometa to me.

C? Where? I do admit to using Python for semantic productions. Python is terse
and it was helpful to be able to pass tuples around.
That said, I do not think that C is bad. One nice thing about C is its very
lack of a helpful runtime. its up to you to supply that however you want. That

What will this book be called? I would like to get one when it comes out.
Why do you always start with C? Why not start with a higher language
like Smalltalk? You could compile ByteArrays that could then run
fast. Wouldn't it be more self documenting? You would have access to
all the Smalltal
Thank you, Alan!
That means quite a bit to me.
I was so looking forward to a good pillage. Ah well… to follow your metaphor (a
kinder one and more inclusive to be sure) I am most appreciative of the
generous sharing of seeds going on around here.

Er… Hmm… About that…
In the (missing) Chapter 1 I attempt to illustrate building a computation model
using a declarative and incremental programming language. Towards the end of
that effort I realized I really needed an implementation of the language.
I really like Alessandro's work but when
Looks nice to me!
But no ivory towers around to pillage. (However planting a few seeds is almost
always a good idea)

Where are the other chapters and what is the book about?
