I happened upon two interesting data langauges today:
- OGDL (http://ogdl.sourceforge.net/)
- Harpoon Data Language (http://harpoon.sourceforge.net/)
OGDL is a very simple indentation based language, it’s like UDL without the braces. I really really (really!) like the simplicity of this language. There is very little syntax, none of which is really required (not counting quotes).
Harpoon, on the other hand, is like a heavily evolved UDL. It has extra syntax that allows for a much more descriptive language. It also has an experimental type system that could be used just like schema. It even has the idea of key expansion.
I’m thinking about experimenting with certain features of both for UDL…
