Hi
This Google Summer of Code proposal was an idea we had when Leopold
visited Braga this month to talk about Parrot. He had a talk with a
teacher here in the university which teach compilers, and is working on
a toy language named LISS (Language of Integers, Sets and Sequences).
The proposal was to create a compiler to this language. You can check
the grammar (well, it might change a little but is mainly the one there)
and examples at http://eremita.di.uminho.pt/~ambs/LISS
Why it might be interesting: have one more language targeted to Parrot,
have some interaction between the Universities world and the Parrot
world, and others. I hope Leo comment this mail with his thoughts when
he had the idea.
Now, why am I sending this email?
1) I never proposed anything for SoC at all, and I don't know if this is
a task big enough;
2) I do not know if there is really interest on doing this
3) I do not know who to propose as mentor (I offer myself in case of
necessity)
And probably more that will appear soon :)
Please, comment... gently :)
Cheers
Alberto
