Hi Mark, there are quite a lot of meta programming systems ( MPS ) for non Lispy languages ( O'Caml, Haskell, Java of course and also Dylan as a member of the "Lisp family" with non homogenous syntax ). I hope I will find time in the new year to review and compare them to the grammar based approach I described in the grandparent post and follow myself with "EasyExtend" for Python - which is *radical* and somewhat in between a language specific MPS and Lex/Yacc. The idea to separate the MPS from the host language but providing a multi-language framework is somewhat complementary to that of PyPy that is a framework that supports several backends for one language. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
