Dear List,<div>   I have moved Fan into github now(<a href="https://github.com/bobzhang/Fan">https://github.com/bobzhang/Fan</a>). </div><div>   What&#39;s Fan? <span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Helvetica,arial,freesans,clean,sans-serif;line-height:22px;background-color:rgb(255,255,255)">We see that a lot of computer scientists are creating languages to target their domain, but creating a language is itself a domain, Fan is targeted at this domain. Yes, Fan is targeted to compiler domains. Fan aims to make creating a language easier.</span></div>

<div><font color="#333333" face="Helvetica, arial, freesans, clean, sans-serif"><span style="line-height:22px">  Currently Fan is not usable, (so users should still stick to Camlp4 for one year or two)mainly because the API is un-stable, yet. But I would be happy to hear feature request. I am open to pull request.<br clear="all">
