Eli Compiler Generation System

    

Efficient language processors ranging from simple DSL implementations to full compilers can be automatically generated from high-level declarative specifications.

Eli is in maintenance mode and is not actively being developed. Most of the current work on language processors at Macquarie is based on the Kiama library.
