I'm wondering if he's tried to do real work with ANTLR and ANTLRWorks in particular. I found them extremely temperamental and fiddly to work with, but this was more than a year ago.
- gchpaco 17y agoThey haven't gotten any less temperamental or brittle. The default tokens have a rude tendency to store the entire input stream as it is being parsed, which was a really rude surprise for us (had to rip it out and do LL(1) by hand, with minimal memory demands). I like a lot of features of ANTLR, but it is not the sort of tool I like to use and abuse.
