I’ve been tinkering with just such an implementation. Here are a few issues that I’m sussing out:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>- compound templates (partial templates)</div>
<div>- identifier vs string</div>
<div>- lists of <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">identifiers, strings and values</span></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> - list separators (comma, or, and)</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">- lack of meta data for some platforms</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">- odd ball data types (blobs)</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">There are others but these are the ones I’m starting with. There are lots of options to play with; format specification, DSL, new data types. </span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><br>
</span></font></div>
<div><font color="#000000"><span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I’ll be looking for input from the experts leading to a JEP at some point, but haven’t worked out the forum as yet. Stay tuned. </span></font></div>
