For clojure, there's kern (https://github.com/blancas/kern https://github.com/blancas/kern) for parsec style parser combinators. It's quite easy to use. Ironically, I actually understood parser combinators better by reading its wiki (By understood, I mean understood how to _use_ parser combinators). Parsec was initially difficult to grasp because the type system complicated things for me then. I only got Parsec completely after that eureka moment when I finally understood Monads.

While not directly monad related. There's also instaparse (https://github.com/engelberg/instaparse https://github.com/engelberg/instaparse) which has also pretty nice presentation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2AUW6psVcE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b2AUW6psVcE I just wanted to leave this here as if it hadn't been for twitter and the presentation, I would likely never have known about it.

  Also, nobody cares. Since this comment is not even remotely related anymore.

Nobody was talking about Clojure. Do you also have to hijack CL discussions now? Taking over the term "Lisp" wasn't enough?
- mrottenkolber 12y ago
  Yup downvote me. Because this isn't obviously a CL thread. What a nice display of Clojure propaganda, when in a CL thread, a related library is scored lower than a clojure library.

    Why all this hate about Clojure? I didn't downvote you, but I can see why people would, seems olenhad was mentioning a library similar to Parsec in a language that is very related to Common Lisp. There is definitely no need to get carried away.

      If there's one thing SLWs hate, it is other SLWs.

        SLW? Single-language... weirdo?

        Consider the fact that I am probably the only one in this thread who is actually getting paid to write Clojure. And yes Clojure is horrible.

        I am honestly curious what you have against Clojure. I dabbed with CL and Clojure, not as much as I would have liked to, but for me they felt similar. I would be curious to have a list of things that can easily be achieved with CL but not with Clojure.

        Common Lisp is a multi-paradigm language (imperative, functional, object-oriented) in the Lisp 1 / Maclisp tradition. It has a language spec and multiple different, but very compatible, implementations. Among its goals are portability across different machines/systems, efficiency, power and stability. Thus complex Lisp software can be ported or written in Common Lisp and usually runs on top of several implementations (examples: Maxima, Axiom, ACL2, ACT-R, Common Lisp Music, ...). "Clojure is predominantly a functional programming language, and features a rich set of immutable, persistent data structures. When mutable state is needed, Clojure offers a software transactional memory system and reactive Agent system that ensure clean, correct, multithreaded designs."
