Title: Lightweight domain-specific language processing in Kiama

Anthony Sloane, Macquarie University

Abstract:

Kiama is a lightweight language processing library being developed at
Macquarie. We are embedding formalisms such as packrat parsing,
attribute grammars, strategy-based rewriting and abstract state
machines in the Scala programming language. This talk will give an
overview of Kiama using typical language processing examples, with a
focus on the novel features of Scala that particularly assist with
language embedding, including flexible syntax, case classes, implicit
conversions, and pattern matching.
