Two friends and I have started to write a toy scheme front end. As a sub product, we have create a hello world front end and a small tutorial. You may find them at http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gsc/branches/hello-world/. Depending on what you want, maybe you can write some patches instead of a full tutorial :-) > The question is, which front ends are regarded as being good exemplars > of style in GCC 4 and which are burdened with legacy code that shouldn't > be duplicated in a new project?

I think that fortran is a better option. Treelang has the parser mixed up with the rest of the front end. > All suggestions welcome. > > Dustin Best Regards, Rafael
