WFL is developed in a bottom up prototyping style rather than top down from a spec, although the original is something of one, so there will be no documentation for some time | |||
other than the working job text. #3 above is implemented by different delimiters for code blocks, with BEGIN<suffix> and END<suffix> with <suffix> blank for A68, and LISP, HASKELL, and PROLOG respectively for the text in those langs. Lisp is common lisp, Haskell is current stable GHC, and Prolog defaults to logtalk but can be pure prolog. | |||
