[Datadraw-user] 42 status

[Bill C. <bi...@bi...>]

I've written (but not yet debugged) an LR BNF interpreter for 42.  If
anyone is interested in the code base, it can be checked out with:

svn co https://graillang.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/graillang/trunk 42
cd 42/src/main/
./configure 
make

I've put in a request to change the unix name from graillang to l42, but
the guys at Sourceforge are on vacation.

The next step will be defining the "Core 42" syntax - the subset of 42
that will trivially translate to DataDraw style C, and be fairly natural
to synthesize to Verilog.  Then, I'll write an interpreter for the core.
In theory, with probably a few more goodies, the compiler proper will
then be done, and I can start writing libraries directly in 42 to add
higher level features, like classes.

Happy New Year.
Bill
