"Sounds strange; in my teacher's opinion, nowadays about the 50% of
commercial compilers are based on attribute grammars; in facts the
formalism was developed from the state of the art in the compiler's
algorithm (at least, the state of the art when Knuth started his
work). Is Ada (now I wrote it exactly) an exception, or is my teacher
wrong?"
Well I think you should ask your teacher to list the Fortran, COBOL and
C++ compilers that use attribute grammars :-)
