The law of delay
Typical.
I am a master of procrastination, and then when I finally challenge myself with finishing something, the world blows up in my face.
The last couple of months I have been extremely busy with work and life in general (2 kids and wife commuting 3 hours a day).
The promise still holds (Dawn will be delivered in 2009 - at least in some form :-)
In conjunction with the project Im currently working on, I have to go to germany for a while commissioning the system. Hopefully Ill get some hotel time where I can throw a couple of work hours at Dawn.
My new plan for Dawn revolves around finishing my BNFT tool. The first incursion of this tool was made in my previous employment in C++, but since that is proprietary code, I will have to reimplement it (luckily I hold the intellectual rights).
BNFT (Backus Naur Format Translate, or BNF-it aka Benefit) is a simple EBNF syntax parser, where the EBNF is extended with output formatting. It is extremely powerful as a conversion or substitution tool (lots more powerful than regexp).
Since its instrumental to my claim for Dawn being syntaxless, I might as well make that tool robust, since I can also use it for a first version of the Dawn Compiler.
