This is why a programming language needs to be _extensible_. That's the "X"
in "XML", eXtensible (Markup Language).
I have no experience with Smalltalk, but I think I've heard that it is
extensible. In a previous post I ranted about the Pliant language, which
looking at the design docs is also extensible.
I haven't read up anything about annotated languages yet, but if Flare is
actually extensible, then it may be a preferred human-programmer high level
language than non-extensible languages such as Prolog, Java, etc. I think
Flare is trying to be extensible by inheriting XML as its syntactic format.
cheers,
Simon
