any rapid prototyping system for language implementation?

We are looking for a system that would allow us to specify a language easily,
and would generate a prototype compiler for the langauge. We need this for
experimenting with some new language constructs that we are currently working
on at the Integrated Systems Lab in Rutgers Univ.


Somebody mentioned about VPO (Very Portable Optimizer) from U. virginia or
Virginia Polytech. and "Apogee" from Edison Group. Any comments about the
source and quality of these systems would be very helpful to us.


Are there any public domain systems?


Thanks a lot,
- Souri.
