What's interesting with ANTLR 3 is that Ruby is one of the target
languages.  I haven't tried it yet but plan to in the near future -- it
would be great if ANTLR would allow a more understandable, maintainable
grammar that would allow Ruby to be able to parse itself.

Thanks, Nick!!


Most welcome!  Also, if you're interested, you may wish to come over to the
ruby-grammarians list (http://rubyforge.org/mail/?group_id=1129) for more
conversation.

Cheers,
