Fling - A Fluent API Generator
Yossi Gil, Ori Roth · DROPS (Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz Center for Informatics) · 2019
We present the first general and practical solution of the fluent API problem - an algorithm, that given a deterministic language (equivalently, LR(k), k >= 0 language) encodes it in an unbounded parametric polymorphism type system employing only a polynomial number of types. The theoretical result is accompanied by an actual tool Fling - a fluent API compiler-compiler in the venue of YACC, tailored for embedding DSLs in Java.
