I don't believe that parallel projects are intrinsically evil, mostly I'm 
carping about the fact that there are so many 'half-finished' efforts.  So 
I'm thinking that more borrowing could be going on instead of reinvention 
in order to perhaps speed things up...

Yeah, I was aware of what you're working on, I asked the question here in 
this forum so that others who are working on the same sorts of things can 
see the answers ;-)

Sorry for being a nag on this issue, but I see having a Ruby parser as 
important to some projects I'm working on (Cardinal, RHDL) as well as for 
other projects (FreeRIDE, various documentation projects, and various 
Ruby-In-Ruby projects).

From my perspective I think we need two types of Ruby parsers:
1) A parser derived from Matz's parse.y file (as your project, Ripper and 
Ruth do).
2) A pure Ruby implementation (as Mark Leidl's (sp?) is - it's in the 
ruby cvs under ruby-parser/ ).


>So - thank you for getting the issue out in the open.

You're welcome.

So when are you going to have some code to post? ;-)
