Announcing Dhaka - A parser generator

ruby-talk
1

Hi,

I wanted to introduce people to my project Dhaka (http://dhaka.rubyforge.org).
The goal is to make a fairly general and flexible parser generator that's
simple and easy to use and completely in Ruby. All of its core functionality
has been implemented. There's some initial documentation for it, including
what I hope is a pretty illustrative example.

Please try it, break it and let me know how you did it. If you have ideas
for what features you'd think would be a good fit for it, I'm all ears.

Thanks for reading this announcement.

Mushfeq.

What kind of grammars can it generate parsers for? LALR, LR, any
context free, context-sensitive?

Best regards,

Robert Feldt

Ok, ok, I didn't read the intro well enough... :slight_smile: Sorry, LALR it is.
