Handling Context-Sensitive Syntactic Issues in the Design of a Front-end for an Octave Compiler?

[Steve C. Thompson]

Northwestern University researchers:

I've come across your paper:

''Handling Context-Sensitive Syntactic Issues in the Design of a
Front-end for a MATLAB Compiler,'' APL Quote Quad, vol. 31, number 3,
pp. 27--40, Mar. 2001 

In the introduction you claim that the proprietary nature of MATLAB
adds an extra layer of complexity in designing the compiler front-end.

I was wondering if you have considered applying your talents to GNU
Octave and contributing to this community.  It seems the openness of GNU
Octave would make it a better research project than MATLAB.

The paper does say that this work started in GNU Octave but the focus of
the paper is MATLAB specific.

Best regards,
