Randy Abernethy commented on THRIFT-4156:
-----------------------------------------
While it strikes me as a cool project, to [~jking3] 's point, it is the kind of
thing that is not going to add a ton of value to end users and it will create a
knowledge gap for existing committers. This means we spend less time actually
adding value for the end users in the community. If Thrift IDL was in dynamic
development the hit might amortize well, however, if that were the case I might
vote for a move to Python. As it is I am a -1 on this ticket.

> As a developer I want to use boost spirit to get rid of lex and yacc.
> This kicks dependency to lex, flex, yacc, bison or what ever.
> This makes building easier, because only c++ code must be compiled.
> All grammar is inside the code - all c++. No need to learn ll and yy.
