Earlier last week a bug was reported with the monad egg, and it exposed a deep flaw in how the syntax was written. In trying to fix it I found myself spinning my wheels and generally having a frustrating time of it. Thus, I took it upon myself to strip the concepts to their minimal and write a small example of the behaviour I wanted.
Namely: 1. Dynamically binding composed symbols at runtime (awesome-macro word stuff) becomes (define awesome-word stuff) 2. Injecting bindings into quoted contexts (awesome-macro word (if call-cthulhu (screech) (hum))) becomes (begin (if call-cthulhu (word) (hum))) 3. Interspersing behaviour into a quoted context (awesome-macro splat (method1) (method2)) becomes (begin (method1) splat (method2) splat) And using those in a library, in csi, in csc, et al; and in composition with one another. This would cover the needs of a fair number of domain-specific languages, I think. Anyhow, without further ado, you can find the example here: https://github.com/dleslie/funky PS, can anyone explain the comment here: https://github.com/dleslie/funky/blob/master/funky.scm#L24 Thanks! -Dan Leslie _______________________________________________ Chicken-users mailing list Chicken-users@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/chicken-users
