# ascribe

A Clojure library providing Dynamic Reference Attribute Grammars.

## Status

During the development of [Fipp](https://github.com/brandonbloom/fipp), I stumbled upon

[Kiama](https://code.google.com/p/kiama/).  Fipp and Kiama provide a pretty printer

built on some of the same research.  Kiama, however, also provides libraries for

tree rewriting and attribute grammars.  After completing Fipp, I decided to study both of

those areas of computer science.  My project [Retree](https://github.com/brandonbloom/retree)

is a direct port of Kiama's rewrite combinators.  However, I decided to conduct

more research before tackling an implementation of attribute grammars.

Torbjörn Ekman's thesis stood out among the literature:

[Extensible Compiler Construction](http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.100.6085).

Guided by this work, I built this prototype of Ascribe

[as it stands today](https://github.com/brandonbloom/ascribe/tree/6e13169d2077933e1a4f661e68880323c6a40705).

Then I stumbled upon [racr](https://code.google.com/p/racr/).  This has *a lot* in common

with my goals for Ascribe.  In light of the fact that there is new and exciting research

occuring in the Dynamic Attribute Grammar world, I'm planning to continue development of Ascribe

in the open.
