I’ve read your “Gazelle” blog and the Gazelle manual, and amen!

I was sick of language in the style of ANT/MAVEN pseudo-language XML-Hell.

For doing some language transformation and some DSL (in my day job), I was looking into parsing.

I’ve looked into ANTLR (pragmatic book) but something didn’t fit: the embedding of action into the grammar file (I have to redo the grammar file if I want to generate in another language ? WTF)

The other solution I found is doing the grammar inside the language like Parsec from the Haskell World, no more beautiful (very common for DSL in the Lisp world too).

I found about GOLD in your blog, look good, but since it is a Windows-only thing…

So basically no tools fit my need, maybe Gazelle at version 1.0

Question:
Have you any rational for your grammar syntax ? Instead of using BNF/EBNF of SDF ?

I will look into your release 0.2,
Thanks for the good work.
(note: I can’t get the formating of my comment correct…?)
