Uh, ruby can be parsed, it's just hard. It's waaaay saner than perl.

  If you emulate the way the MRI parses it, sure. For example: # Is this some_method with an empty block, or an empty hash? some_method {} # Is this a regex or a comment? # # It depends how many arguments "whatever" takes, and you # don't know that until you run the code that defines it. # # Interpretation is implementation-defined. It just so # happens that the MRI determines that the below ISN'T a # regex because it has a SPACE character just after the "/". whatever / 25 ; # / ; raise SystemExit.new;
