[erlang-questions] Sexp front end for Erlang?

[Peter Mechlenborg]

Hi,

I'm new to the list, but I hope that I'm not too far off topic.

At the company I work for, we have recently started implementing a 
domain specific language with an Erlang back end and have a prototype 
compiler written in Common Lisp.  Instead of generating Erlang source 
code directly, the compiler has two phases with an sexp layer in 
between, that is, the first phase in the compiler generates sexp's 
corresponding to Erlang code, and the second phase generates Erlang 
source code from the sexp's.

Currently the sexp layer is very simple, but I was wondering if someone 
else has played with the idea of an sexp-based front end for Erlang, or 
even made one?  If so I would be very interested to hear more about it.

I tried to google for something like the above, but I did not find anything.


Have fun,
