Accepting (QUIETLY) ooRexx *and* Java Syntax in ReyC

[ThSITC]

Hi Genlemen and Gentlewoman,

*one issue* I did not yet decide, finally:

1.) Would it be *helpful* to accept ooRexx Syntax in a NetRexx source,
QUIETLY,
as a TRANSITION aid in my Rey Compiler?

2.) Would it be HELPFUL, to ACCEPT (quietly) Java SYNTAX, as well, and
thus make
ReyC actually a Java PREPROCESSOR?

I would *really* like to have your opinions to this :-)

Making Rey (:= NetRexx3) a 'Java extension' might help in marketing the
pwoers of NetRexx,
  IMHO!

(Massa)  Thomas, from dark Vienna, Austria.

PS: Anyway, I will, with David Requena's help, make my source OPEN SOURCE
next weekend. There might and will be still a lot of issues/bugs, but my
current feeling is:

As SOONER as you will get access to my Scanner's, Parser's, and Cross
Language Translators,
as sooner you might HELP me to complete this stuff.

*And*, lso you might help me to fill in the ReyC WIKI, etc...

Time, from my side, has come to release my source, and make this (my)
discussion as OPEN
as it could be ... :-)

Happy EASTER!
.

Thomas,

I'm copying this to [hidden email] which is where this discussion should be held. Only replying here because of what I state in next paragraph.

I'm being repeatedly mentioned in relation to the release of ReyC. Of course I'll be helping with the svn setup and other tech stuff needed for release at kenai.com.

Just wanted to state that this does not imply my endorsement of your current ideas about enhancements/modifications to the NetRexx language itself.

ReyC is your baby and you'll do as you see fit with it but here are my 2 cents.

- Stop announcing until you're really ready for a release. That will cut on the reproof you're getting because of restless adverising.

- Start working on the release itself. Most probably you've some hard re-factoring work ahead if you plan an open sourcing some modules while keeping some closed.

- Talking about licensing... Have you already decided on an actual OS license? GPL? ASL? BSD style? Roll your own?

- Regarding enhancements to the language I think focus should be on fully supporting NetRexx2 at this point. Which ReyC does not at the time being.

- If you insist in implementing these, then you make them into 'extensions' which may be enabled optionally by the compiler user if/when desired.

Saludos / Kind regards,
David Requena

Yes, it's my baby, it' now 3 year's old, by the way (never rleased, I'm
so sorry!)

Initial OPEN Source release will be anyway 1.5.2011 (no matter what it's
state is)

I'm working really hard on this, trust me :-)

NO! I do have NO idea about this whole OPEN LICENSING stuff, and alsom
did not any responses on
this issue from the community I did ask. .... :-(

Primary (my) goal will be to be able to compile *my own stuff* (all in
NetRexx(1)) with my own compiler...

Still a long way to go .....................

As my intent is to simply RELEASE, what I do have, publically (OPEN
SOURCE), so that we can (together?)
hopefully intgrate it to your NetRexxDE and Kermit's NetRexx Script
without waiting *forever*
for the OPEN SOURCE release of Mike's reference implementatiion.

Rene, an old friend of mine, is, *in my opinion*, simply *too quiet* on
this issue... :-(

For any and all additional features I did have or will implement are
appropriate OPTIONS in the Netrexx OPTIONS
statement to enable/disable them. As Mike did, by his marvelous design,
did make this an *EXPANDABLE* feature,
I'm simply re-using it, at the current minute! The (my) intent is: If
the extension (filetype) is NetRexx (nrx), the source
have strictly comply to NetRexx syntax, as documented....

Hasta La Vista,

Will send you the packed sources, anyway, next week, no matter which
bugs are still known by me...
