{ on Strings }
I think it would be okay to have Lua as the base layer of a DSL for
CMake. As long as it was sufficiently documented, I think a
derivation of Lua would be acceptable. Lua already allows using bare
words for table keys in a constructor, why not use a filter, MetaLua,
lexer patch or such to allow this construction?
{ on Tables }
Again, why not? I hear of alternate syntaces in use around here, and
that sounds like an easy job for filtering. I also like the idea from
Jean-Claude Wippler, to use the Python/Ruby syntax `prefix splat` ~
`*foo` to unpack a table.
Again, the script could be Lua, with a few helpful additions to be
nicer to wrists. Keep it well documented, and users won't bite so
much.
My two cents... for what it's worth. ;)
