Looks like Rockit, the OO parser generator for Ruby, is abandoned.
It doesn’t work with its own examples:
leikind@pc324:~/rockit-0-3-8/examples/calculator$ ruby calculator.rb
/usr/local/lib/ruby/site_ruby/rockit/rockit.rb:24:in generate_parser': undefined local variable or methodrockit_grammars_parser’ for Parse:Module (NameError)
from calculator.rb:36:in `calculator_parser’
from calculator.rb:52

Hello all,
Hi,
Looks like Rockit, the OO parser generator for Ruby, is abandoned.
Its been abandoned for some 2 years but I’m now working on it again.
Instead of fixing the old version I’ve decided to do a new one
with a C backend. Expect release in 3 weeks.

I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn’t park anywhere
near the place.

When you do this…will we be able to build a Ruby parser with it
Sorry for the bad support these 2 years,
Your creativity is worth the wait!
Thank you for putting time back into this.

That sure is one of my goals. I’m not promising anything since
the Ruby grammar is a hairy one and I’ve been deep into it
before without getting out…
And Rich, lexeme positioning will be in there
as per your requests…

Thanks for the support guys, I really have incentive
to make this happen now.

Hmm, do I smell speed?
Its not top prio but parsing is one of these things
were speed really can matter so yes, I think it will have
enough of it to be generally useful.
My goal now is to generate a Ruby C extension that gives
a parser. I think for many uses this will be good enough.
Long-term, yes, a pure-Ruby solution as an option would
be good (especially to experiment with intelligent
error reporting which is much harder in C) but don’t
expect it anytime soon.
