Re: [pro] Is cl-yacc going to cut it?

symbol parse, but is there another general parsing technique, available as a lisp library of course, that either works at a lower level than yacc usually does or allows the lexer to access more context about the parse?

The relatively new PEG packrat parser technologies make it possible to use just one universal description for, both, scanning and parsing. I see that cl-peg exists, but I haven't tried it out.

[I, also, have built for myself a variant of Holt's S/SL (syntax semantic language) that allows preservation of white space and for changing scanners on the fly (that allows parsing different languages embedded in one another), but I have not taken the time to polish it enough for release.]
