Re: Perl 6 Microgrants. Now accepting proposals.
Hi all, I am recently working on the QT4/KDE4 bindings for p5. First cpp headers are parsed by a grammar based on Parse::RecDescent, The production of latest dev release Parse-QTEDI-0.02_01 is quite stable, presenting all related interface information of cpp .h. I will continue to make it available in p5. And myself do have a plan to introduce them in p6. It will be nice if someone can do so in parallel with me (I mean, for p6). Since: 1. my knowledge on p6 sucks ;-) 2. currently I haven't got enough time. PS: It is very glad to see such information, really. In my opinion p6 indeed needs trying to draw as many connections as possible with other outstanding tool/project outside perl world. KDE is such a place too.

Writing a Perl 6 grammar to parse BNF should not be too hard. Writing an emitter to translate that into a Perl 6 grammar should also not be very hard, though I find emitters harder to write.

Re: Re: Perl 6 Microgrants. Now accepting proposals.
I am very interested in this. I've done a little bit of work like this in the past, for projects like Java::Swing which is a thin Inline::Java facade for coding swing UI front ends in what appears to be pure Perl. But, your plan is more intense. In particular it is more intense than $500. So, are there others that would work with me?

Don't let somebody else beat you to the punch ;) I'd like to suggest an idea for *someone else* to submit a proposal for: As part of the work on DBI2 I want to create a Perl API that closely matches the JDBC API.

[ I'd probably then use the tool to also generate implementation code that bridges the Perl6 JDBC with the Perl5 JDBC module on CPAN. That would give Perl6 a working JDBC API.
