One could say that I am always on search of the perfect programming language. And I am quite curious on what's under the hood of a programming language: lexers, parsers, code generators, mostly because I don't know exactly how they work, yet.

Slate lexer and parser are small enough for me to study. Also, I am convinced that prototype languages are very powerful.

So up to date, I am mostly trying stuff in interactive mode, and when it does not work, searching why. Then, if this is not a obvious bug, I ask on the list. If this is an easy one I commit my changes.

I am trying to push Slate parser (the one written in Slate rather than Lisp) to the point where it is able to write back in a file the same thing it have read in an other file. This may seems obvious, but this means that the source was understood as a syntax tree, and transform back in source.
