<n|Phreak>So when you talked about using webidl instead of creating (define-foreign procs) by hand, did you mean create a webidl file first to parse into s-expression using webidl that would then generate hoot ffi code? <n|Phreak>Or be able to just write scheme code and have the parser read the code and then generate hoot ffi ? <kestrelwx>Standard Web interfaces tend to include specifications in WebIDL, so you would parse these and use that to generate Scheme bindings. <n|Phreak>Ok , so parse the webidl files and generate hoot-ffi bindings <kestrelwx>The spec itself provides a grammar, so you could generate a parser from the grammar too.
