The Scala compiler has a plugin system. Here's a document that describes their approach to dealing with phase ordering of plugins: <http://www.scala-lang.org/sid/2>. It seems rather complex, but seems necessary (or the document is just very long). There's also a tutorial on writing Scala plugins, which may help to get a feel for how their API works. <http://www.scala-lang.org/node/140> / Thomas _______________________________________________ Glasgow-haskell-users mailing list Glasgow-haskell-users@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/glasgow-haskell-users
