Re: Dead links in blog post

Hi Dominik,

I'm afraid I don't see what link is supposed to be dead in that BNF article.

Hi Lukas,

currentyl I write an article introducing jOOQ as part of my data orientied programming stack for the german Java Magazin. During the research, I detect dead links for the images showing the BNF in https://blog.jooq.org/jooqs-fluent-api-in-bnf-notation 

It seems that the trailing ?ssl=1 isn't supported any longer by wp.com, removing this suffix from the link adress worked.  

Furthermore, you wrote in 2012:

In principle, any arbitrary BNF can be formally transformed into a set of Java interfaces modelling your domain specific language directly in Java. I will soon create a prototype source code generator for this, so stay tuned!

Could you ever finish such a thing ? But as you mentioned here, probably not.

Haha, famous "soon." I'll just delete this claim. Peter Verhas wrote such a generator, though:

Kind regards

P.S. is it possible to send you my article for review ? The deadline is tough but I would be very pleased in order to avoid obvious mistakes :-)

I can have a quick glance, sure

Hi Lukas,

I tried again this morning and it looks like the problem was more with my browser... strange because I couldn't open the images with a normal left click, only right click -> open in new tab worked. 

Never mind... it works now.

>I can have a quick glance, sure 

Can I mail the article as the DOC / PAGES / PDF to you ?

Well, I do prefer electronic over snail mail, if that's what you mean?

sure :-)
