ohm VS mation-spec

Building an interpreter or a compiler from a grammar is an interesting idea. I can't immediately see how to go about it - the grammar would need to match on SSA or similar.

The examples have a lisp-like interpreter at https://github.com/ohmjs/ohm/blob/main/examples/simple-lisp/... which definitely uses a grammar for parsing and might use a generic AST representation.

Will have to think more - a grammar might be a worthwhile way to specify a nanopass style compiler pipeline.

Look for OMeta and its successor Ohm.

One more suggestion: Maybe create your own scripting-language using Ohm? The project works in JavaScript, so whatever you created would sit on top of your existing APIs.

OMeta and its successor ohm might provide some interesting ideas.

Always fun to find the first commit:

Neat tool. I write parsers by hand though. More fun, and you can be a lot sleazier.

Hi, I've created an application where you can follow step by step origami fold instructions, and a Creator where you can make these interactive folds.

On comparing to video instructions, you have the ability to quickly skip/rewind steps and replay a complicated step many times.

On the creation side, there have been one or two attempts at this before, but those solutions rely on mouse drags as the user interface. This greatly limited the kinds of folds possible. The foldMation Creator uses commands, keywords and values to compose a domain specific language/step and provides a (relatively speaking) easy to use user interface to compose the steps.

For those interested in using the Creator, please go through the tutorial at the top of the create page.

Btw, the DSL for foldMation uses https://github.com/mationai/mation-spec. I created it since I couldn't find anything out there that is similar, allowing me to specify a well structured data with English-like readable syntax.

Let me know what you think?

Ohm is a wonderful tool. I used it to create mation-spec [0], a readable structured configuration and specification format to automate and run code. I look hard trying to find something like it before giving up and creating one myself with the help of Ohm. The mation-spec is the basis of an origami fold simulation language to describe and simulate origami folds. PM me if you like to see it before I post the simulator on HN.

Have you thought of finding or creating something like this [0]?

I created this as the basis for my origami folding descriptive language. I tried to find something similar, requirements being both well structured and English-like but couldn't find any, so I created it.

The origami folding app will hopefully be out in 2 weeks, so you can see how it's used.
