  • Toy

    A toy programming language.

  • Writing the parser was the easiest part of Toy, and actually the first thing I did.

  • fio

    Flexible I/O Tester

  • Agree, I used flex/yacc to add an arithmetic expression evaluator to fio a few years back to allow simple math with some units in fio's job files, and for stuff like that, they're fine, but I wouldn't want to use them for a real language, the error handling is kind of a nightmare.

  • rust

    Empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.

  • Sort-of the Rust turbofish ::<> but that is exactly one of the "so we picked one and stuck with it" things too.

  • parsec

    A monadic parser combinator library

  • The Parsec library for Haskell uses combinators, and there are a few good resources around the internet which explore it, if you know Haskell.
