This looks really interesting, thanks for doing all that work and sharing.
Two minor points of feedback:
- The name is "strange", since "Backus-Naur" is already labelling the form as being theirs, adding a possessive to the front kind of clashes, for me.
- There's a tiny typo in the Non-Greedy example, "terminaor" is missing a "t". :)
Good luck with the project(s), of course!
- robertlagrant 4y agoYes, I came to say the same. Is Backus okay with you naming a metasyntax after him?
- omnicognate 4y agoHe's probably indifferent, having died 16 years ago.
- kstenerud 4y agoYes, TBH I'm a little stuck coming up with a name. I want it to be evident that this follows in the footsteps of the Backus-Naur form (for familiarity's sake), but I don't want to do something crass like call it "Ultimate Backus-Naur form" or something. We already have "Advanced Backus-Naur Form" and "Extended Backus-Naur form" and will eventually run out of superlatives...
- jononor 4y agoDo some something that sounds similar but writes differently? Like a rhyme. Knacknus Saur, Binackus Naurackus, ?
