..... Mayans operate on abstract syntax. Maya can ensure that Mayans produce valid ASTs, because AST nodes are well typed. Since Mayans do not operate on flat token streams, they are not subject to precedence errors that occur in typical macro systems. For example, the Java Syntactic Extender (JSE) [2] allows macros to be defined with a case statement that matches concrete syntax against patterns. Because JSE macros operate on concrete syntax, they can generate many of the same parse and precedence errors that C macros generate. Maya treats grammar productions as generic functions, and ....

....defined in MultiJava by Clifton et al. 12] Section 6 describes related work, and Section 7 summarizes our conclusions. 2. BACKGROUND In this section we describe three systems that are closely related to Maya, and to which we compare Maya in the rest of the paper: JSE, JTS, and OpenJava. JSE [2] is a port of Functional Objects procedural Dylan macros to Java. JSE macros are defined using Dylan patterns, but a macro s expansion is computed by JSE code rather than by pattern substitution. JSE macros must follow one of two syntactic forms: methodlike and statement like macros. JSE ....

....automated rewriting can be performed on source code or on bytecode. The Java community has already developed an impressive set of tools transforming source code: AspectJ [8] to support AOP, Sun s JavaScope project to instrument source code, a Dylan like macro system called Java Syntactic Extender [9] and a class based macro system, OpenJava [10] Nevertheless, in many contexts, expecting source code availability is a mistake: o# the shelf components usually ship in binary form, and sophisticated distributed systems, like mobile agent platforms, usually rely on dynamic class loading. ....

....languages has been widely studied. Macro languages and preprocessors provide limited improvement of expressiveness by textual substitution, often ignoring important details such as variable capture, typing or scoping constraints. Other approaches involve abstract syntax or similar tree constructs [7], stream parsers [12] and typed macro systems [24] In its most successful forms, syntax extension solves some of the challenges of specializing the syntax of a programming language for a particular problem domain, but provides no means for the incorporation of domain specific semantics, often ....

Formal language specification and subsequent programming language tool generation are challenging and integral topics in the area of domain specific languages. The first aims to provide formal descriptions of syntax and semantics, while the latter studies the e#cient tool generation from such ....
