Ok. Thanks for the heads up. > Rather, PLEASE try to follow the Aldor User Guide.

Grammatically, Spad is fairly similar to Aldor, as you know. I am actively thinking about Aldor features that I would like to integrate with the compiler down the road. However, I am not commiting to cloning Aldor, as I feel there are shortcomings/difficulties. The same is true, or course, with Spad. I would be happy to dicuss some of my plans for enriching the compiler with features familiar to Aldor if interested. > Trying to model a parser after the current algebra is, in my opinion, a wast > of > time. I agree. I am not attempting a replacement. I dont care about being able to parse the whole algebra. I would certainly like to encourage anyone to contribute their thoughts on what an `ideal' language should be. > All the best and thanks for working on this, > > Martin Thanks, Steve _______________________________________________ Axiom-developer mailing list Axiom-developer@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/axiom-developer
