Ask HN: Please critique my metalanguage: “Dogma”
2 by kstenerud | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Hi HN! Dogma (formerly KBNF) is a modernized metalanguage with better expressiveness and binary support, focusing on documentation. It follows the familiar patterns of Backus-Naur Form, and includes a number of innovations that make it also suitable for describing binary data. Link here: https://ift.tt/rvtAYk8 I've been working hard after the feedback I got in https://ift.tt/IbPhije and would really appreciate another round of critiques :) A lot of the changes were to harmonize the grammar so that the language "feels" more consistent with fewer surprising behaviors and edge cases. If you use metalanguage grammars, please take a gander and let me know where Dogma might cause problems in your use cases! Thanks :)
