Hi Antonio,

We are very glad you are interested in the K framework.
As we envision K as particularly good for defining domain-specific
languages, and as the ultimate semantics of a K definition is a (labeled)
transition system, I don't see any reason why you could not use the K
framework to define your language.

The immediate benefit such a definition could bring would be that you
could use the definition as an interpreter for programs as well as for
obtaining state-space searching and model-checking capabilities.

If you are interested, we would be happy to help with guiding and
assisting you through the process of writing a K definition.

Best wishes,
- traian serbanuta
