Mantra programming language released
|
posted by parrt on Tuesday, October 09, 05:59 PM
Mantra is a new programming language being defined by Terence Parr at the University of San Francisco. Mantra is a clear descendant of Java in terms of syntax, but more like Ruby and Python because Mantra is dynamically typed (though mantra has type annotations). Like Ruby, Mantra has real closure support and the closure-following-method-call syntax for passing closures to functions. If Mantra has anything new and interesting, it's POP: pipeline-oriented programming or pipe-oriented programming. The pipeline statement implicitly launches threads on the actors in the pipeline and hooks up their input and output streams. The pipeline statement is directly analogous to pipes and I/O redirection on UNIX commandline.
Mantra is meant as a research platform and to teach language design and implementation. Nonetheless, it should prove a nice little language.

Professor Parr giving invited lecture @ U Quebec at Montreal Nov 12

posted by parrt on Friday, November 05, 09:29 AM
Abstract: This talk provides a brief introduction to the major components of the ANTLR parser generator including tree construction and tree grammars. Further, I will outline the features of the upcoming (completely rewritten) ANTLR 3.0 including its new LL(*) arbitrary lookahead parsing algorithm and dynamically scoped attributes. Finally, I will highlight the code generation phase of ANTLR, based upon the StringTemplate engine, that has proven trivially easy to retarget.
