Sarcasm 4.1.0

Sarcasm

Summary

Sarcasm is an SDK for creating typesafe, domain-bound grammars. It also has a grammar driven general unparser.

Sarcasm provides the following features:

• Index-free AST building using domain-grammar bindings.
• Typesafe AST building using typesafe grammar.
• Automatic unparsing provided by the general unparser based on the grammar.

In a Sarcasm's domain-bound grammar you can write this e.g.:

binaryExpression.Rule =
    expression.BindTo(binaryExpression, t => t.Term1)
    + binaryOperator.BindTo(binaryExpression, t => t.Op)
    + expression.BindTo(binaryExpression, t => t.Term2)
    ;
