Lisp actually ;-) There's Zebu, which is similar to a yak both in animal and programming terms. > You might want to write a recursive descent parser. My primary goal is to make Raskal as simple as possible, so using a tool that requires obfuscation in the language isn't really where I want to go. > If you have any specific questions about any of it, or want to know of > resources for learning more about any of it, let me know. More resources would be good. I've got a copy of the Dragon Book (purple type, one each) on order and I'm reading various online tutorials (like this one: http://lambda.uta.edu/cse5317/notes/node1.html and the Wikipedia pages for CFGs, DFAs, etc.) but they're not as good as it seems like they could be. Mostly I find myself grasping at context - what problem is this specific thing designed to solve?, etc. I suspect the Dragon Book will answer these questions for me. > Um, welcome back? :) Hey thanks!
