I want clay, complete freedom, and Perl.
Funny, a few years ago I fantasised about writing a language
called Clay. I even came up with a marketing line: "Munging, messing
with data has never been so deep, so intense, so different..." (or
something like that) :). Clay was supposed to be written on top of or
as a second generation of HC (Hygienic Classifier) (I borrowed the
term "Hygienic" from Scheme's Hygienic Macros, and "Classifier" had
nothing to do with OOP, in fact it was a not at all paradigmatic
(paradogmatic?), minimalist, textual, principled and open-ended approach at the thorny problem of
classifications). Maybe some day I'll get myself to rescue
the papers, complete the design and write a working implementation of
HC and Clay (in Perl, of course). Time, gentlemen, please!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
