What I'm working on in my copious spare time is a parser generator that generates recursive descent parsers with memoization ("packrat parsers") using Parsing Expression Grammars instead of (E)BNF (see http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/~baford/packrat/\).

The parser generator can now parse grammar files that contain PEG's (using a hand-written parser), and I'm working on the C parser generator.... read more
