hmm...
this codeplex site doesn't seem so reliable.
my network is working now and I can access all other websites fine but that site times out.

Steel - a very strong metal made by removing impurities from iron. Strong, but heavy.

Kixtanium, on the other hand... strong, lightweight ;\)

Steel refers to me (my name). The names of my projects usually start with Steel. I know this sounds egocentric, but I just like the name.

the name is ok, but if it was to be brought to mainstream, I would imagine some others also would think the name as of-the-track.

Not sure why names should be on some sort of 'track'. It refers to kix, and it refers to my name. The dlr implementation of Python is called IronPython, and doesn't sound of-the-track to me, even though 'iron' is not related to anything.

Using the DLR opens up some interesting possibilities..With some minor modifications, I managed to use SteelKix with ASP.NET! Look at this example:

ASP.NET markup:
 Code:
<%@ Page Language="SteelKix" CodeFile="default.aspx.kix"  %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>SteelKix ASP.NET example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    	Enter your name:
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">  
        </asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="Button1_Click"/>
        <p>
            <asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text="Label">  
            </asp:Label>
        </p>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>


SteelKix codebehind:
 Code:
function Button1_Click($sender, $args)
    $page.Label1.Text = $page.TextBox1.Text
endfunction

Hi WvS,

I've been going through your source code. I have to admit there's some seriously mind boggling stuff there; especially in SteelKixTree.cs! Anyway, there are lots of KiXtart functions and macros that should be trivial to implement in .NET. I've done some .NET coding and am happy to contribute some KiXtart functions and macros so you can concentrate on the crazy language structure stuff. I figured I'd start with some string functions, and I think I may have come across a couple of issues.

Firstly, I'm not sure how to deal with optional parameters. When I overload a function, the runtime seems to expect the sum total of the parameters of each function.

Secondly, there seems to be no error thrown when a script calls a function that is not specified in the runtime or as a UDF.

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious?

Regards,

Richard

The parser, lexer and tree parser are generated by a tool, I'm glad I don't have to maintain that code by hand :). I agree that some of the code is tricky, please don't hesitate to ask questions. You can also find a lot of information on the DLR site on codeplex. As for function overloading, there was a bug that occurred when using the language context in the parameter list (I fixed this). The correct overload is selected by the number of arguments supplied. 'Empty' parameters values are substituted with Type.Missing values.

As for not displaying an error, maybe steelkix is a bit to forgiving when explicit mode is turned off. I'll look into this.

If you have any more questions, please ask.
