Re^27: aXML vs TT2

You may be right, but ikegami is trying to get you to do an inductive proof of that.

I've written a few compilers myself and patched more than a few parsers. Given that experience, I think you're going to run into a nasty bug at some point due to this evaluation strategy, and it's going to be a real trial debugging it.

Ok, I'm not actually familiar what that an 'inductive proof' actually is or how it works, but I am more than willing to study up on the concept and put the time in to make such a proof. Regarding your feeling that I am going to run into a nasty bug at some point, I have a feeling that I already ran into that bug a long time ago, and solved it. If it's the same bug which your possibly starting to realise the existence of, then all I can tell you is that that bug is the reason for the existence of the two extra bracket delimiter types ; `( ) (/) and [ ] [/]` which no one yet seems to have really picked up on or asked about. They are not there for the sake of my health! If it's some other sort of bug, then all I can say is that in the last 4 years of using aXML to build some really big and complex apps with, I have yet to encounter it.	[reply] [d/l]
