  12. Proto was initially developed as part of _xpressive_ to simplify the job of 
    13. 

  13. transforming an expression template into an executable finite state machine capable 
    14. 

  14. of matching a regular expression. Since then, Proto has found application in the 
    15. 

  15. redesigned and improved Spirit-2 and the related Karma library. As a result of 
    16. 

  16. these efforts, Proto evolved into a generic and abstract grammar and tree 
    17. 

  17. transformation framework applicable in a wide variety of EDSL scenarios.
    18. 

  18. 

  19. The grammar and tree transformation framework is modeled on Spirit's grammar and 
    20. 

  20. semantic action framework. The expression tree data structure is similar to Fusion 
    21. 

  21. data structures in many respects, and is interoperable with Fusion's iterators and 
    22. 

  22. algorithms.
    23. 

  23. 

  24. The syntax for the grammar-matching features of `proto::matches<>` is inspired by 
    25. 

  25. MPL's lambda expressions.
    26. 

  26. 

  27. The idea for using function types for Proto's composite transforms is inspired by Aleksey Gurtovoy's
    28. 

  28. [@http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2002/11/39718.php "round" lambda] notation.

  40. A technical paper about an earlier version of Proto was accepted into the
