Hi Nando,

the language itself is quite comprehensive C derivative with some MatLab/
Fortran90 extensions, e.g. vector/matrix as build-in types and the
interpreter has a C++ interface. The "problem" is that the project consists
of +20K lines of code and I don't want to blow up QL until I know that a
PayoffInterpreter is of any use for other users;-). The parser itself is
written using GNU Flex/Bison.

At least on the equity side stucturer are using script/interpreter languages
together with MonteCarlo scenorio engines.(e.g. Reech).
