Yet another ambitious project

Hi all, I've started working here https://gist.github.com/PWBENNETT/8435996 on a practical grammar for the language described here http://ashishagarwal.org/2011/10/04/pdf-type-theory/ Trouble is, I don't (yet) understand the math in the above paper well enough to know whether I'm actually on the

Re: Yet another ambitious project

In the paper's if X then Y else Z, X seems to be a (bound) variable (not sure if/how they convert it to boolean, perhaps by whether it has PDF or not), while it is a comparison in the grammar. The name comparison is just a notational thing for my convenience. Oh, but yes. Yes, indeed.

Re: Python port of Libmarpa?

Well, how about that? I was just going to SWIG the low-level C code, and build a method-compatible API suite on top. I'll have to check out this guy's work for sure. On Sun, Nov 9, 2014 at 9:55 PM, Jeffrey Kegler jeffreykeg...@jeffreykegler.com wrote: [ Warning: family unfriendly repo name ]

ANNOUNCE: Gloria has begun

Work has finally begun in earnest on my log analyzer that I promised to work on "one day" back when I started to get into Marpa . There's not much to see yet, aside from one work-in-progress "input config" file. Input config spec coming soon -- as soon as I've nailed down what input specs need to

Re: Switching between grammars in one parse

Any good examples of mixing grammars? In my "main" grammar I have :discard ~ whitespace (etc), but in the XPath spec whitespace seems to be significant. I'm obviously behind the times ... I guess I could use "..." around my XPath expressions and treat them as blind strings handled by the

Switching between grammars in one parse

I'm writing a tinylang. One of the things the lang needs is a token "XPath", which parses as per the w3c XPath spec, which is highly different to the rest of the language spec. I plan to approach it by writing two grammars. It seems the words for me to grep the pod for are "pause" and "expect" if
