Don't hold back, Andrew, tell us how you really feel! :)Having spent an entire semester trying to work on a parser for a language project back in college, and never having gotten it working (despite our group being three of the better heads in the class), I think it's fair to say that yes, parsers are hard. fucking hard. but, when you do it right, and use the "right" tools (lex and yacc, anybody? c'mon, you know you love 'em!), the results are worth it.
