Unimal 2.0, a language-independent preprocessor

Hello NG,
I'd like to announce the release of Unimal 2.0, an advanced preprocessor
independent of the target programming language(s).
Built upon successful industry experience with the previous versions, it
is now more powerful and expressive.
It proved to work wonders with static initialization and software
project configuration, greatly reducing (sometimes, to zero) the
maintainability problems, saving computing resources at the same time.
It is also great for sharing data among disparate languages as it can
output several different files, program-controlled.
Full-featured version 2.0 is made available for unlimited evaluation,
along with a few application notes, at
I would really like to ask people to evaluate it and provide some
feedback at macroexpressions dot com. In particular,
- do you find any omission in Unimal functionality?
- would you suggest further improvements to Unimal?
- do you find it easy or difficult to bring Unimal into your build process?
- etc
Thank you for your anticipated interest.
Best,
Ark Khasin

When people put up web pages that require horizontal scrolling, I
ignore them. How hard is it to let html do its normal thing and
adapt to the user?

Thank you for your observation. It is my oversight, now fixed.

Much better. However I was under the mistaken impression it was
open-source.

There are good reasons why people shell out thousands for embedded
tools. I think Unimal is well within the means of those who need to
optimize.

The more power to you. As I said, mistaken impression.

Am I the only one who thought that said "Urinal" the first time I
looked at it?

The only one I can think of is when then don't have a choice. You know of
any others?

It just doesn't seem like good programming practice to decorate your
source code with a non-standard and proprietary macro language.

Exactly. I don't recall having seen any reason to prefer this
new-fangled, proprietary macro processor over plain old m4.
