Meta does seem like a parser for people allergic to parsing.  Of course it has a great lisp pedigree as well. I am biased by early exposure to Ken Thompson's work on regular expressions and LALR parsers.

It seems dirt simple to use, at least to me and the performance has been acceptable.

Esrap is another packrat parser for CL:

I had to parse some semi-structured text and wrote Esrap for that. Its
primary limitations are lacking support for parsing from streams (it
wants a string) and very little documentation.
