ALIEN: a programming environment generator for personal computers
Ulrik Schroeder, Arno Spinner · 1988
Alien is a generator for interactive language-specific programming environments. The system makes a language definition environment available to the language definer and supports him with an interactive generator. Using these tools every syntactic unit of a language can be made available. This can be done by a method of stepwise testing, correction and expansion. Fully defined environments can easily be restricted to subsets of a language.
