Since I started exploring the possibilities of the various bits of codename “Oslo”, there has been one thing that has really annoyed me (and this is not Oslo’s fault). The lack of a decent tool to do syntax highlighting of M, MGrammar & custom DSLs is vital to be able to communicate the intentions of [...]
In the first installment of this series we took a look at the basic grammar for parsing the command line with MGrammar. In this part I’ll show you how we can load in a compiled version of the MGrammar and parse the input (i.e. the command line) to produce a valid MGraph that we in [...]
