Functional-like imperative language based on attribute grammars

Country: Netherlands
Designed 1987
Published: 1990

for Exploiting Lazy Evaluation for the Grammar Attributes of Non-Terminals

Elegant started as a compiler generator based on attributed grammars and has grown into a full programming language. Although it has been inspired by the abstraction mechanisms found in modern functional languages, Elegant is an imperative language that does not discourage side-effects.
