quotations and run time code generation
f#

I am intrigued by F# quotations and

possibilities for run time code generation.

There is a library that compiles F# expressions

to LINQ. I am interested in converting expressions into code fragments for other languages (eg., C, matlab, etc.)

Are there any working examples on how to do that?

.

Here's a link to my open source project FSharp.Javascript. It converts F# quotations to javascript.

FSharp.Javascript

The basic idea behind converting between languages is having two ASTs (abstract syntax trees) one for the source language and one for the target language. F# quotations gives you an AST for free so all you really need to write is an AST for your target language, a pretty printer for your target AST and a converter from one AST to another.

F# AST -> Target Language AST -> Target Language pretty printer.

On another note, these forums are broken, this is the third account I've had to register because I can never access old ones, and the forgot password functionality doesn't work.

@jgreene3 Worked for me. Maybe the problem is on your end?

Me not remembering my password is my problem I suppose, but the forgot password functionality doesn't seem to work with a gmail address. It seems likely that it is the forgot password functionality that is broken and not me. :)

Only thing that comes to mind is WebSharper's F# to JavaScript engine. I don't think anyone did more than this.
