Proto's review ends this Friday. There's been good discussion, but very few actual reviews. Please consider writing a review, if you haven't already.
Hi Eric, I've been struggling with the review; however, I still have a number of questions about the design. That's why I haven't been able to make a review that I'm reasonably sure would be justifiable. For instance, I've had problems understanding the difference between a proto expression and a grammar and summarizing that difference in some sort of succinct formula. My last attempt was: http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20080324.160640.f8aed314.en.html My tentative conclusion is that a better design, more along the lines of algebraic morphisms, would make proto easier to understand. The only way I could be reasonably sure of this would be to try and prototype this. <excuse_for_maybe_flawed_review> Since that would take *way* too long, I'll just jump to that conclusion (and possibly several others) in my review </excuse_for_maybe_flawed_review> and wait for your response about if it's not workable and why. -regards, Larry
