Welcome to PolyglotWiki
PolyglotWiki is a wiki for the Polyglot extensible compiler framework.
Polyglot is a Java class library that is easily extended through inheritance to create a compiler for a language that is a modification to Java. Language extensions can be implemented without duplicating code from the framework itself. Polyglot is useful for implementing domain-specific languages, for exploring language design ideas, and for simplifying Java for pedagogical purposes. The framework has been used to implement both major and minor modifications to Java. Experience implementing several languages in this framework suggests that the cost of implementing language extensions scales well with the degree to which the language extends Java.
Polyglot supports Java version 1.4, but a Polyglot Java 5 extension has been developed by Todd Millstein and Milan Stanojevic at UCLA, based on an earlier version by Jennifer Lhotak at McGill.
