I love the "design pattern" element, as it is following the same feeling as design patterns - and you'd hardly be the first to port the idea to another domain. I guess the problem is that "language design patterns" sounds like you're designing languages. How about "Design Patterns for Language Implementation", or are we *not* excluding langauge design, just wanting to make sure it's clear that implementation is there as well? -- Sam Barnett-Cormack List: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/listinfo/antlr-interest Unsubscribe: http://www.antlr.org/mailman/options/antlr-interest/your-email-address --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "il-antlr-interest" group.
