I also have to add Lesser in some files; I'm in the process of reviewing each file independently anyway, so I'm going to change the header everywhere.

Thanks a lot for approving so quickly

Hi,

Your project looks good, except for a few outdate FSF addresses.

The address of the FSF has changed, and is now:

  51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

You can find some background and a possible migration script at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=3766

(though that won't convert the Cambridge very-old address)


I approved your project, so after you fixed this detail you can upload the code at Savannah.

Regards.

Registration Administration


While this item will be useful to track the registration process, approving or discarding the registration must be done using the specific Group Administration page, accessible only to site administrators, effectively logged as site administrators (superuser):



Registration Details


  • Name: L
  • System Name:  l-lang
  • Type: non-GNU software & documentation
  • License: GNU Lesser General Public License





Description:

My project is the implementation of a novel language, L.
L takes features from C and Lisp: it has low-level capabilities (like pointer
handling) like C, and high-level macros like Lisp.
However, unlike Lisp, L is statically and strongly typed (and the macros
can take advantage of type information).

L uses a conventional syntax, like C, but is an extensible language, like
Lisp.  Even the syntax can be redefined dynamically; this allows
to write code that mixes different syntaxes like:

XML_Node test(void) {
let node = XML(<foo>bar baz ${3 + 4}</foo>); print(node); node}

For examples, see the regression_test/ directory.

The current implementation is written in C, but L should be self-hosting.
The compiler is dynamic and outputs x86 code in memory;
I'm also writing a L->C converter. It also features a dynamic lexer
generator, that compiles a list of regexpes into assembly.

L is now mature enough to accept contributions; I'm in the process of
cleaning up the code for helping people to contribute.  The following
URL (http://racin.free.fr/L.tgz) points to a not-yet-cleaned implementation,
but I give it to you now so that it will be cleaned when you have finished
the review process.

L is licensed under the Lesser GPL, version 2 or later. 

Thanks
