Hi,
Linpro AS recently assigned me to work part-time on Varnish development,
and I have just started getting to know the docs and source.
I have spent most time looking at the internals of the VCL-compiler. My
understanding is that an extension of VCL is being planned for version
2, and so I think it might be a good idea to base the next generation
compiler on a parser which is generated by a YACC-like parser generator.
I think this will make the VCL grammar easier to verify and grasp (for
new developers), as well as make it easier to extend.
Any thoughts?
I look forward to working more on Vanish in 2007.
