I personally don't prefer meta approach (a language written by
itself).  But I'd like to try top-down parser (in C), if I had enough
knowledge about writing parser.  Gee, I should have had studied hard
when I was a CS student.  Although I was in compiler construction labo
then, I was too interested in language design.
