Nice!

Why stupid? I think that is straight solutions for simple problems. MyDef is basically the same idea but with complete programming layer to achieve almost anything. I have been using MyDef for all my programming (in all programming languages) for 10 years now, solves all my syntax problems. It doesn't solve language problems therefore I still choose language to suite problems. However it turns out that programming language minus syntax features are much smaller and the remaining criterion often boils down to library availability, dynamic type vs static, or memory management. Syntax differences can be naturally dismissed.

Looks like your MyDef is bootstrapped using itself; it seems to be written in "MyDefized" perl.

Bravo; it is much more readable than regular Perl.

Thanks.

MyDef is not really a programming language, but a meta layer. Sounds like a new concept but it is more like cpp or m4 in the toolchain point of view. As such, it can work with any programming languages. e.g. In the Nim example, every thing written is Nim, except the macro; and MyDef itself is actually in 100% Perl (the bootstrap folder is actually a pure Perl package). However, specific extension/plugin also can be written for specific language to customize and gain special power; I did that for Perl and C.
