Maybe I was holding it wrong but in my experience ANTLR’s performance (on JVM) was abysmal.

- mehrdadn 7y agoSame with Python, the performance was horrifying. Didn't seem usable for production to me, but seems better suited for prototyping a language without worrying about the parser until later.
- nineteen999 7y agoYeah I can't see your average C/C++ programmer pulling in a parser generator written in Java to get their job done in place of flex/byacc, I suspect most would rather roll their own parser ahead of that. Maybe it happens, but I can't picture it.
- samatman 7y agoDo you mean the performance of ANTLR, or the performance of ANTLR-generated parsers?
- fishnchips 7y agoI mean ANTLR-generated parsers. Apologies for the ambiguity.
