Any chance to have a similar thing for s-expressions? I parse GBs of them and Common Lisp reader is very slow.

  Probably not too hard. It would come down to how easy it is to detect quoting conventions so you don't accidentally parse () chars in strings. JSON is medium-easy. I don't know where the canonical definition of s-expressions you're using comes from (is it just Common Lisp?) so I don't know how this works. We'd like to have some more examples of formats people care about - I'm interested in generalizing this work. So if you want to followup with more detail please do.

    As a clojure user, I care about EDN, but its probably too niche to spend your time on. https://github.com/edn-format/edn https://github.com/edn-format/edn

    Yes!!! A generalization for other kinds of simple grammars would be awesome. On another note. As a js programmer who deals with a ton of json, I would love v8 to adopt some of the tricks into their json parser.
