I thought I would mention here that I have now updated the website for the language machine at

http://languagemachine.sourceforge.net.

In particular I've added a page with a whole progression of diagrams at

http://languagemachine.sourceforge.net/picturebook.html

which I hope will explain better how the beast works, and help anyone who is interested to get their heads round this admittedly unfamiliar way of thinking about language and grammar.

As I said in my original posting, the whole engine is written in D, produces modules and programs in D, and interfaces easily with procedures in D. There's also a first cut at a d-to-d translator/pretty printer/preprocessor, and small beginnings of an interface to gnu gcc4.

The tcc library interface module embeds the tiny c compiler diretly into D, and could be quite useful in its own right as a way of buildiing interfaces to C libraries 'on-the-fly' - it's not at all tightly linked to the rest of the language machine, but there's an example in which I call into it from a language machine ruleset that was compiled with D language wrappings.

I've also added a mailing list at sourceforge.

Best wishes
Peri
