ANTLR 3 is now public (for a couple months now).  I wanted to point
out that it is now much easier to add new language backends.
Currently supported are Java, C#, C, Obj-C, Perl, Python, Ruby, and
Ada95.

At one point MarkM and I had a face to face discussion about E's
quasi-literals and embedding ANTLR to process them.  To embed, ANTLR
itself would need to be tamed.

Anyhow, I just wanted to (hopefully) prompt someone to create an E
backend for ANTLR.

Imagine, the E grammar could be generating E code for the E parser....

Cheers,

Monty
