Hammurabi

Hammurabi

From the website:

Hammurabi is a rule engine written in Scala that tries to leverage the features of this language making it particularly suitable to implement extremely readable internal Domain Specific Languages. Indeed, what actually makes Hammurabi different from all other rule engines is that it is possible to write and compile its rules directly in the host language. Anyway the Hammurabi’s rules also have the important property of being readable even by non technical person. As usual a practical example worth more than a thousand words.

I have to admit that my heart leaped at seeing a name from Ancient Near Eastern studies!

Then to discover it was for a rule engine written in Scala.

Well, still looks quite interesting, even if not ready for prime time project.

Not for any time soon, but it would be interesting to write a set of rules in Akkadian for use in constructing a topic map of Akkadian grammar.

That would be way cool.

And a nice way to brush up on my Akkadian.

Which I must admit has gotten rusty as I have worked on technical standards far a field from ancient language studies.
