Heh? Does this list still work?? I haven't received
any messages since yesterday.... weird...

Anyways, Congrats to David Cunny for his OX parser
generator! It saves a ton of work when wanting to
implement language parsers, INI file readers, or Text
To Speech in Euphoria!
Euphoria was lacking a parser generator...
C has tons of 'em, YACC, BISON, FLEX, etc..

For all yall that don't know how a parser generator
works...
If you want to, for example, implement a programming
language in Euphoria, then you would normally write
code to read a source file, break it up into little
tokens, wich you then eighter run or translate to
another language. Coding this is very boring work, but
with a parser generator you just tell a program how
your language looks like, and it will output a program
that can read a file in that language you specified,
break it up into tokens, and prompt you with a token
when one is encountered, so you can immediatly
translate or run it, or store it away in memory.
Pretty cool shit.

If you compare writing a programming language from
scratch, or writing one using OX, OX saves you 70% of
coding time.
