- exdsq 6y agoThe title copies the second sentence of their readme: > You can use it to parse custom file formats or quickly build parsers, interpreters, and compilers for programming languages.
- UncleMeat 6y agoI guess it depends on what it means to somebody to build a compiler. Something like yacc says "compiler compiler" in the name but really it is a parser generator. The hard part of industrial compilers is the optimization.
