I rarely use DCGs because they suffer from completeness syndrome, i.e. you either define full DCG or you crash on first error. For such tasks I prefer quasi-quotation [0] or a simple format with goal expansion [1]. As for readers I rarely need ones, because XML, YAML, JSON are already included. In order to do code analysis I first pulled pieces using Regex (mostly headers) and only then parsed them over with DCG. Which is also neat when creating own DSLs - one can ask people on meeting to decorate lightly notes and get - semantic linking almost for free.
