For christ's sake, not VB - that's a horrible
travesty of a programming language. It's not even
object-oriented!

I wrote a grammar for a subset of POV using
a Java parser called JavaCC. I use it to turn POV models
(output from Moray) into nested objects that I can combine
and manipulate and then turn back into POV format. It
works fine but I'd like a formal description of POV language -
does such exist?

Err, i think you will find it is, and remeber i was refering for a plugin
language for the masses, if VB was a little quicker, and didnt require
runtimes, nobody would bother with VC. (except maybe from the hard asses who
browse the web with a text based browser)

No, it's not, because it has
no Inheritance.
If you want reasons why I called it 'horrible'
I could write a much longer reply, but this is not the
correct newsgroup.

Well, VB won't do anything for
the Linux masses.

No, not really. As long as I have the choice of using Java or C++, I
wouldn't want to program in VB if it was super fast and I was being beaten
with a stick if I didn't. I only would do it for money. Much money. :-)

Err, well, that's kinda a moot point, as Moray doesn't do a whole lot for
the Linux masses, either. Actually, Moray is the reason I switched back to
the wunderful world o' Windows :P There were a few other reasons, but I
simply couldn't find a *nix based modeller that could touch Morays
capabilities and ease of use, and I doubt Lutz has any plans on porting it
any time soon (Matter of fact, I believe I would be shot if I seriously
suggested/expected him to :) )
