Sorry, but is is in no way and by no definition a "classic programming language" of any sort. > ...

It wasn't a value judgment, but a reaction to the fact that it was listed in response to a request for JVM-specific languages. While the ANTLR processor itself runs in the JVM, it is agnostic as to the language of the code it generates. > Jim Randall Schulz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
