Mapnik is about making beautiful maps: it uses the AGG graphics library, which offers world-class anti-aliasing rendering with subpixel accuracy for geographic data, and Boost, for handling common software tasks such as memory management, filesystem access, regular expressions, and XML parsing. The <em>Boost.Spirit<\/em> library is currently used for parsing expressions, colors, filters and SVG symbols, and for generating SVG output.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong><a title=\"Epoch Language Project\" href=\"http:\/\/code.google.com\/p\/epoch-language\/\" target=\"_blank\">Epoch Language Project<\/a><\/strong>: Epoch is a modern, full-featured programming language designed to offer rich first-class support for both symmetric and asymmetric multiprocessing.

It uses Boost.Spirit to parse braille music code into an AST which is later enhanced with various algorithms to resolve ambiguities inherent to braille music code. It can currently convert to LilyPond source format, which can later be translated to a PDF and MIDI representation by LilyPond. BMC aims to become an universal translator between tactile and visual music notation, eventually covering both directions.
