Re: [Pharo-users] BLOG: Block Translators - parsing magic

Thanks Udo; I reviewed a few techniques for implementing internal / embeddel DSLs in a host language and I didn't saw this one :) Thierry 2014-09-23 1:48 GMT+02:00 Udo Schneider <udo.schneider@homeaddress.de>:

All,

I just finished a blog entry. It shows how to use Smalltalk blocks as parsers/translators. E.g. translating a Block

[:customer | (customer joinDate year is: Date today year)]

into an SQL-like String

(YEAR(customers.joinDate) = 2014)

The SQL stuff is just an example - you can create nearly any output.

Maybe that's old stuff for some of you - but I hope it's interesting for some at least :-)

Comments and feedback appreciated.

CU,

Udo
