Always something I've wanted to write - an interpreter of my own. Now
I'm not likely to produce the next 'Ruby', but the recent announcement
of Fu's 'TAO', and other languages, make me wonder if I could write
something similar. Just for me, so to speak. A bit of fun.
I did look at the possibility of going down the traditional route of
[F]Lex/Yacc[Bison] and 'C', but it would be nice to write it in Ruby.
Alright, it would be one interpreted language interpreting another,
but as I said, 'a bit of fun'. That's if two small children and a
scary wife allow me the time of course!!
I see there are ruby-lex and ruby-yacc modules on RAA - anybody used
these in anger and are they complete/good-enough?
Has anybody done this kind of thing before? Not being a) a genius, b)
Matz, or c) the owner of a fine beard, can anybody recommend any good
URL's/tutorials/perhaps even books?
I could grow a beard of course...
