Since 2002 the main developments are: the incorporation of an OCAML backend, the incorporation of XML technologies (expat for parsing, XQuery, pretty printing), the development of a set of reusable attribute grammar components/libraries, and we are almost finishing a front-end in LRC for Haskell (ie an incremental prog. environment for Haskell). I haven't updated the homepage since Matthijs Kuiper who started developing LRC, after leaving Utrecht and moving to industry built a nice GUI for the language-based environments and he has a kind of copyright on that part. Nevertheless, I (and Matthijs) can distribute that version of LRC (for research purposes only), but I never felt comfortable to make it available on the web. Yes, probably I should update the webpage and making it clear that LRC is available for research purposes. I will be very happy to send you the latest version of the system. BTW, we have almost re-implemented the LRC system in Haskell. We have developed an GLR parser generator: http://wiki.di.uminho.pt/wiki/bin/view/PURe/HaGLR And, we have constructed an Haskell library that implements the back-end of LRC (that is, the circularuty test and the scheduling of attribute evaluation: the hardest part...). We are using it to analyse and transform circular lazy Haskell programs: http://wiki.di.uminho.pt/wiki/bin/view/Joao/CircularProgramming Soon, the two will merge and we will have an AG system producing lazy, strict and deforested attribute evaluators.
