[antlr-interest] request for comments on language implementation

Hi folks,

This is a plug and a request for feedback on my first ANTLR project:
Jiffle - a simple language for creating raster images from maths
expressions.

You can find it at http://code.google.com/p/jai-tools/

Look for the Jiffle link at the bottom of that page.  There is a
preliminary description of the language's purpose and grammar there
plus you can browse the code including the grammar files.

I'm using the cascading AST rewrites approach with Jiffle and I'd be
particularly grateful for any comments on this aspect of the
implementation.  Since I'm very much an ANTLR neophyte there is bound
to be a lot of inefficient / inappropriate / just plain wrong stuff in
the grammars and associated code.  Any feedback on how to do things
better will be gratefully received.  Be brutal !

cheers
Michael
