The Loki Project: Compiling Beta Into Java

The Loki Project is an effort, started by myself, to investigate the feasibility of compiling the Beta language into the Java language, with the hope of eventually producing an implementation.

I have done a great deal of thinking about the matter, and I have concluded that with some work the effort is feasible: everything that Beta does, Java can somehow manage.

I will be releasing various Loki Papers explaining my view of the Loki Project onto the Beta mailing list and newsgroup.

I should add that I have no connection with Mjølner Informatics.

Here are the papers written to date:
  1. Overview
  2. Character Sets
  3. Lexical Issues
  4. Simple Attributes
This page also provides access to a Yacc grammar of Beta.
