Other Compiler Compilers

Not up to Parr (hehe)


Some of these are obvious if you've ever even peeked into the world of Compiler Compilers. So, I'll list them quickly but describe some of the others.

Most CCs are not worth mentioning. There are a lot out there, but Yacc is the clear winner when it comes to saturation. I think that Antlr is the best when you need to have a common tool for multiple languages. I also really like the fact that it is LL, but with syntactic and semantic predicates. It makes it very readable, but still very powerful.
