James E. King III closed THRIFT-4156.
-------------------------------------
Resolution: Won't Do
Assignee: James E. King III
Interestingly there is a py-compiler branch on github with an old attempt at
it. I'd likely toss it and start something new however, given the advancement
of python in the last 7 years... it uses ezt for example which is ancient.
I'll close this - coupled with the fact there was extreme pushback the last
time I suggested adding another dependency to the compiler (in this case, all
of boost), and that we just removed boost from the C++ runtime in favor of
standard C++11... I agree with you, a python based compiler would be much
easier for folks to digest (and a lot easier for us to... well... not compile).

> 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.
