Ant is a DSL, isn't it?
The easiest thing would be a re-implementation of Ant in Common Lisp,
we'd get real macros and a time-tested "scripting" language for free.
and we could get rid of XML:
+1 ;)
s-expressions are basically a 'better' xml, but implementing Ant in
Common Lisp would be:
a - cool
b - completely barmy (I doubt many Java developers would touch it)
c - a good learning experience
(project :name "Ant" :default "echo"
(target :name "echo"
(echo :message "Hello World")))
Tasks would be functions or macros.
Anyone interested in a CLISP version of Ant? I've been thinking about
it since I read that defmacro.org article
