  • AbstractSyntaxFromSDF2?

Design and Implementation

SDFII is still under development.

  • SDF2o2: Issues and plans for stabilizing the current version

  • SDF3: Considerations for the next generation

    • A bad idea to start thinking about this right now, makes people nervous. -- PK

    • Why does it make people nervous? A living language is always changing, users will come up with ways to improve the language. One can ignore such ideas or make an inventory that can be used as a basis for new development. -- EV

    • To keep the discussion about SDF2o2 focussed it is good to have an SDF3 bin in which we can store ideas that we don't want to think about for a while or ever -- JV
