Hi,

this isn't ready for wide distribution yet, but take a look anyway:
  http://ra.sics.se:8080/notations

Please note that there are several problems that I'm aware of and a more
polished version should be available soon. In particular the Squeak
handling is bad. The important thing is the idea though and all details
can be fixed given some time and energy.

I am specifically trying to make a family of syntaxes available for
different purposes.

As a first step this is done outside of implementations as source to
source translations.

The next step will be to try to get some programming language
implementors interested in the idea and build it into the
implementation. As some will remember I have advocated that Squeak do
this and perhaps it will. At present I don't have time to do all it
takes within Squeak myself. But other times may come and if enough
support from others is given ..

I will sooner or later try connecting this with Squeak (again), Python,
Scheme, C (gcc), Xml, Prolog etc.

I'm interested in having contact with people on this subject. If you
find it outside of the Squeak list mail me privately. Perhaps there
should be a mailing list on the subject. I have considered that but want
to await some improvements of the demo material.

I have half reimplemented the stuff in Squeak and that can be revived.
Mail me for details.

A further detail to mention is that the current material is a closed set
of code written by myself but one obvoius goal is to give the
programmer/end user a reasonable way of creating syntaxes by inheriting
from those already existing.

/Mats
