Hi everyone,
the paper "Growing a language in pattern calculus" is now available from
http://www-staff.it.uts.edu.au/~cbj/Publications/glpmf.pdf
The material of the paper links to many of the concerns of this list.
It shows how to add features to an existing language in a convenient
and principled fashion. Each (new) feature is isolated within its own
object-oriented class that describes all phases of its implementation.
The unifying principle is that all computation is pattern matching, an
idea which is quite familiar to readers of this list, but pushed to the
limits within pattern calculus. Comparisons are made with OMeta,
Fortress and severl other approaches to language growth.
As relative newcomers to this world, we will appreciate any feedback.
Yours,
Barry Jay
