Antlr (or other LR) and Ruby

Hi,

A while ago I asked if it was possible to generate Ruby parsers for Antlr defined trees. Since no answer was received I guess it's not currently possible.

Does anyone use Ruby in an application with a custom language (say, as an interface for user queries)? If so, what do you use to generate the language parser?

Thanks

I don't ever used it but did you took a look at RACC (included with ruby)?
Oh, and I think rockit.sf.net was an attempt to write an ANTL-like parser generator, even if I'm not sure it will work with current ruby.
