(via ::Manageability::)
We present an extension to the Java language that allows Java programmers to define new syntactic constructs. The design is based on the Dylan macro system (e.g., rule-based pattern matching and hygiene), but exploits Java's compilation model to offer a full procedural macro engine. In other words, syntax expanders may be implemented in, and so use all the facilities of, the full Java language.
I think we mentioned this in the past, but I am not sure. After that long Java thread, it may be nice to return to this topic anyway. More on Java syntax extension.
Are all the other editors already on vacation?
