I am not familiar with BXML so I do not know what the
generated output should look like. But as for adding a new
language to SMC, it is a matter of adding
SmcBXMLGenerator class which extends the
SmcCodeGenerator class. SMC uses the visitor pattern to
emit the target language output.
Of course, after writing SmcBXMLGenerator there is writing
the documenation.
very entertaining sales pitch
nice compiler too :-) How hard do you think it would be to target more declarative languages, eg: BXML (backbase.com)?
