The application
a recent blog post,
Flavio Poletti described an unusual language,
one which he'd written a parser for,
using the very traditional method of
recursive descent.
Specifically he'd used Perl's Parse::RecDescent
module.
Several people asked me how
Marpa
would do on this language.
This post contains
a comparison, including a benchmark.
