About S/sl

S/sl was created in the late 1970s as a tool for defining the syntax and semantics of programming languages. It was developed to assist in compiler construction by providing a formal method to specify language constructs and their behaviors.

Strengths of S/sl included its formal approach to defining language syntax and semantics, which made it useful for compiler construction. Weaknesses involved its complexity and the steep learning curve for new users. Competitors included other specification languages like BNF (Backus-Naur Form) and EBNF (Extended Backus-Naur Form).
