   grammar based programming

   Dear compilers readers,   
      
   recently I got interested in trying to use a grammar like approach to   
   programming.  My ideas were a bit inspired by PEG implementations and   
   their usual capability of semantic actions.  Basically programming in   
   something like BNF.  Do you know some references or links or the   
   proper name for grammar based programming?  I only found two papers:   
      
   Constructing Programs as Executable Attribute Grammars by Frost (   
   http://cs.uwindsor.ca/~richard/PUBLICATIONS/COMPJ_92.pdf )   
      
   Programming with Grammars by Hehner (   
   http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~hehner/PwG.pdf )   
      
   I would be glad to hear from anything you have heard about this.   
   Maybe? it is known in the compiler community under a different name.   
      
   thanks,   
      
   Marc
