Let's consider Javascript (the same argument applies to any interpreted language): to write an interpreter, some people focus on the task of compiling, say, Javascript source code to get an AST; this is only part of the job, and it should be the shortest part -- ideally, finding an existing parser would be best, otherwise plugging one together with existing tools shouldn't take too long for a regular language like Javascript.
Sadly, parsing Javascript is unnecessarily difficult because of optional semicolon insertion. Best to look at existing parsers. Seo Sanghyeon _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
