There's more than one way to skin a cat

Skinner takes an AST description and a language skin description and generates a JavaCUP and JFlex parser/lexer for a language that constructs the given ASTs.

In this way, given an AST class hierarchy, you can generate a parser for a language that's Java-like or Ruby-like or JavaScript-like, etc.

To use

Skinner is still a work-in-progress.

The cat directory contains the code (in Haskell) of the skinner itself.

The glue directory contains:

• the Skin files (currently just Java and Ruby)
• a Python script for generating the lexer
• Java code for the runtime library (mostly for the lexer)
• some tests
