I'm building a toy-DSL and working through the ANTLR4 book right now mostly because it was the first thing that came up when searching. Since I don't have a formal CS background I'm lacking a bit in the "language development" department. Is there a good overview comparison of strength/weaknesses of what's available (blog post, academic journal don't really care)? I mostly know stuff exists because I've heard it mentioned somewhere (Flex/Bison, yacc, using Prolog :P) and it's not the easiest thing in the world to make an educated decision. My current plan is to stick with ANTR and muddle through and build a prototype then spend a day or two researching alternatives and seeing what comes up but if someone could cut down that research time I'd be thankful :)
