Racc (http://i.loveruby.net/en/projects/racc/) is similar to Yacc.
You can write a grammer like in Yacc, and you can write actions in Ruby
instead of C.

It generates a ruby class for a grammer. The generated class depends on
racc-runtime (written in C), but the runtime is in the Ruby's standard
library.
So it is efficient and portable.
