TXL - A Language for Programming Language Tools and Applications

TXL is a special-purpose programming language designed for creating, manipulating and rapidly prototyping language descriptions, tools and applications. TXL is designed to allow explicit programmer control over the interpretation, application, order and backtracking of both parsing and rewriting rules. Using first order functional programming at the higher level and term rewriting at the lower ...

TXL: a rapid prototyping system for programming language dialects

This paper describes a rapid prototyping system for extensions to an existing programming language. Such extensions might include new language features or might introduce notation specific to a particular problem domain. The system consists of a dialect description language used to specify the syntax and semantics of extensions, and a context sensitive syntactic transducer that automatically im...

The TXL source transformation language

TXL is a special-purpose programming language designed for creating, manipulating and rapidly prototyping language descriptions, tools and applications. TXL is designed to allow explicit programmer control over the interpretation, application, order and backtracking of both parsing and rewriting rules. Using first order functional programming at the higher level and term rewriting at the lower ...

Programming Language and Tools for Automated Testing

Software testing is a necessary and integral part of the software quality process. It is estimated that inadequate testing infrastructure cost the US economy between $22.2 and $59.5 billion. We present Sulu, a programming language designed with automated unit testing specifically in mind, as a demonstration of how software testing may be more integrated and automated into the software developme...
