Growing Languages With Metamorphic Syntax Macros

A paper by ClausBraband? and MichaelSchwartzbach? of the University of Aarhus (Denmark) on the macro preprocessor used in <BigWig?>. Compares and contrasts it with many other macro preprocessors, including those of CeePlusPlus, SchemeLanguage (DefineSyntax), DylanLanguage, and a few others. Interesting read.

Supposedly, a similar system is in NeedleLanguage.
