[Haskell-cafe] feasability of implementing an awk interpreter.

[Michael Litchard]

I'd like the community to give me feedback on the difficulty level of
implementing an awk interpreter. What language features would be
required? Specifically I'm hoping that TH is not necessary because I'm
nowhere near that skill level.


An outline of a possible approach would be appreciated. I am using

as a guide to the language description.
