Getting to Xen


Erik Meijer: For example given a bibliography of books, bib, we can select all books whose publisher is Addison-Wesley that are published after 1991 by the following filter expression.

book* AWbooks =
   bib.book[it.publisher == "Addison-Wesley" && 
            it.year > 1991];

Sweet!  Note the use of * to denote sequence, and the implicit it variable.  There also are embedded expressions and apply-to-all.

Missing, or incompletely described at this point, are namespaces and mixed content.
