Having problems with message search?
Hi All
Thought I might chime in on the discussion, and give some idea of where I am going with GPCP.
I have been doing very little new development with GPCP in the last twelve months, but I am committed to keeping it usable by making sure it works with the current versions of the managed environments. And fixing any bugs that folks turn up. I was working on a design for generics in Component Pascal, but there is a difficult issue if compatability with the JVM platform is to be retained. Generics on the JVM would need to be implemented by type-erasure, with a loss of expressivity compared to what could be done on the CLR.
Most of my time in this period has been spent on my language processing tools (GPLEX and GPPG). These produce scanners and parsers that are completely Unicode-aware. They are callable from GPCP, but are written in C# and produce C# as output. I am also working on a new version of my old bottom-up tree rewriting system MBURG, circa 1995, and am writing a successor to my 2002 book "Compiling for the .NET Common Language Runtime".
Cheers
John

Subject: [GPCP] Pretty quiet here...Hi all,
I see that this GPCP discussion group has only had one message during all
of 2009, and that message didn't even have anything to do with Gardens
Point Component Pascal!
Am I to assume that nobody here is actively using GPCP anymore? Perhaps
you've moved onto C# or something else?
As the group's owner, I must admit that I have not used GPCP for awhile,
although I do still use Blackbox Component Builder quite a lot.
I am wondering if I should delete this discussion group due to inactivity,
or does someone think there is still value in keeping it around?
(perhaps simply for the archives of past message).
Thank you for any feedback!
Marc
