TXL is a special-purpose programming language designed for creating, manipulating and
rapidly prototy** language descriptions, tools and applications. TXL is designed to allow …

Abstract Domain specific languages (DSLs) are increasingly used today. Co** with
complex language definitions, evolving them in a structured way, and ensuring their error …

Packrat parsing is a novel technique for implementing parsers in a lazy functional
programming language. A packrat parser provides the power and flexibility of top-down …

Application programmer's interfaces give access to domain knowledge encapsulated in
class libraries without providing the appropriate notation for expressing domain composition …

In this paper we present the fusion of generalized LR parsing and scannerless parsing. This
combination supports syntax definitions in which all aspects (lexical and context-free) of the …

Abstract The Generalized LR (GLR) parsing algorithm is attractive for use in parsing
programming languages because it is asymptotically efficient for typical grammars, and can …

We propose an approach to the construction of grammars for existing languages. The main
characteristic of the approach is that the grammars are not constructed from scratch but they …

In order to maintain the consistency between sources and documentation, while at the same
time providing documentation at the design level, it is necessary to generate documentation …

Packrat parsing is a novel and practical method for implementing linear-time parsers for
grammars defined in Top-Down Parsing Language (TDPL). While TDPL was originally …

IDEs are essential for programming language developers, and state-of-the-art IDE support is
mandatory for programming languages to be successful. Although IDE features for …
