Please implement recognition and parsing of Maxima language
A few years ago I made a request for Maxima language to be recognized as programming language. Maxima is in Ohloh database and has its own programming language, which has made possible to easily extend Maxima and to create other programs based on it. I mantain a project, SymSAP, which is almost completely written in Maxima language, but the system is not able to recognize its code, it only finds a few lines that are written in Lisp, but most of my program is Maxima-based. Maxima itself has large parts of it written in its own programming Language.
Since Ohloh has Mathematica listed in recognized codes (it is another Computer Algebra System like Maxima, but a commercial one) it would be really nice if Maxima language was supported as well.
For instance, there is an XML file with all keywords and syntax integrated in Kate, a text editor for Kde, and this could be a good start.
Thanks.
I think it would be awesome it this could be implemented. As previously stated, a lot of code (both inside and outside of the Maxima source code repository) is written in the Maxima language.
Any word from Ohloh on this?
Thanks.
Stefano and Kris,
You can take a look at our language recognition code at https://github.com/blackducksw/ohcount (it's mostly written in Ruby) and see if you could work in support for your language. Pull requests are happily accepted and after being evaluated they can be added to the production servers. That's about the only way that it will happen since it is hard to allocate developer time as it is...
If you do, consider passing along your experiences here to others so they too have guidance about how to add their important languages to our stable. See: https://www.ohloh.net/forums/3493 for information about ohcount...
Thanks!
