Hi,
It is not only possible and deseriable to write ALL META data and
operations in Unary, Binary and Keyword Message Passing Syntax [MPS] (as
done in Smalltalk), it has potent results. See it as a simulation in
3d+time.
Let us see the flow of programs alter with declarations guiding their
construction and operation.
Reply with any declaration or meta program operation that you wish to
have expressed in MPS. What are they?
Rewrite it into MPS using standard Smalltalk with minimal Objects from
the library. What do declarations look like in Smalltalk?
Declarations can exist within a stream of coding whatever aspect of
program operation that you desire. Declarations interact in an
environment influencing those relevant program statements according to
the dynamics or statics of the declation internals.
What are the consequences and impact for implementation and other details?
