Could this finally be a real replacement for Snobol?

  Egison looks interesting, but I think maybe Ometa is closer to being a Snobol-replacement than Egison -- at least for now. On a side note, I came across this: https://github.com/daveshields/gospitbol https://github.com/daveshields/gospitbol

    Why do you think so? I've created Egison not for text processing, but I think text processing is important application of pattern matching and I'd like to do work for that in future.

      Perhaps Egison might be a useful tool for building a snobol replacement, or perhaps I personally just don't find the syntax to be quite so amendable to ad-hoc text processing. I could very well be wrong, though. As I said up-thread -- it's a very interesting project :-)
