By the look of things, Lua can often give more natural formats, where you
don't have to explicitly map keys to values, e.g. I have (as executable input
to a Lua program for generating complex C++ headers):
template ("typename T") "RecList" ("Serialisable")
{
attrib "T*" "h";
attrib "RecList<T>*" "t";
constructor ("T", "RecList<T>");
constructor ();
method "T" "head" ();
method "RecList<T>" "tail" ();
method "bool" "empty" ();
method "bool" "not_empty" ();
method "int" "length" ();
conversion "bool" "not_empty";
method "void" "serialise" ("Marshaller");
}
