Metaprogramming in Erlang. Merl is a more user friendly interface to the
erl_syntax module, making it easy both to build new ASTs from scratch and to
match and decompose existing ASTs. For details that are outside the scope of
Merl itself, please see the documentation of erl_syntax.
Parse transform for merl. Enables the use of automatic metavariables and using
quasi-quotes in matches and case switches. Also optimizes calls to functions in
merl by partially evaluating them, turning strings to templates, etc., at
compile-time.
A generic pretty printer library. This module uses a strict-style context passing implementation of John Hughes algorithm, described in "The design of a Pretty-printing Library". The paragraph-style formatting, empty documents, floating documents, and null strings are my own additions to the algorithm.
