Subject: Re: Writing parsers?

Grammar looks much more similar to Spirit, a C++ parser which looks
really simple to use. It uses a very simple domain-specific language
for writing grammars in C++ code. It's part of the boost libraries. It
would be my first choice for a medium-speed parser that could be used
quite easily from Ruby with just a few joining bits of C. Parsers in
the style of YACC or Bison are much faster again, but the added
complexity of defiing grammar probably makes using it a premature
optimisation for most tasks.
