See also Arne Brasseur's recent talks at various Ruby conferences, e.g.
"Web Linguistics: Towards Higher Fluency" at
http://lanyrd.com/2013/eurucamp/. "Modelling State Machines with Ragel", by
Drew Neil, looks awfully relevant too, in light of Zed Shaw's results using
Ragel for the Mongrel parser (
http://zedshaw.com/essays/ragel_state_charts.html).
