GGUG:Groovy AST Transformations
Groovy AST Transformations
"A language should have access to its own abstract syntax" John McCarthy, Father of Lisp. Well, now Groovy 1.7 does! Besides explaining just what an AST transformation is, this talk will show you why AST transformations are important, what you can do with them, and where the language world is headed. We'll dive into some of the useful Groovy annotations and libraries being written that harness AST transformations, see how to write our own, and work with the AST tools that came out in the latest version. Bring along your laptop so we can do some AST transformation hackery after the talk! This session will be followed by a short a code jam where you get to not only contribute back to the Groovy community, but also learn from some experts.
