- liquidise 14y agoAnything that is self-described as an "abstraction markup language" and must be compiled into the language it abstracts is really a pre-processor. Regardless of intended use cases, i cant think of a better definition.
- cpleppert 14y agoI disagree. A preprocessor doesn't 1) transform the entire document 2) doesn't fully parse the input document that is exactly why the c family on languages has such difficulty with modules: they are hacked on with a preprocessor and aren't part of the language.
