The Lands Platform: Lan.guages and D.omain S.yntax
summary
Lan.d.s presents a concrete language platform that uses Multi-Ordered Grammars parsed by the Gray Algorithm to let designers keep ambiguous grammars and then incrementally disambiguate with three ordering flavors. It includes an Abstract Syntax Language (ASL) that generates host-level AST nodes and bytecode, and composable GrammarTraits (Faro parser split into ten traits) so a full Smalltalk postcard and a GIS/epidemiology DSL run live in Pharo with tests; an unexpected “imagined semantics” interaction appears as a current bug/feature.
