[Ruby] [ANN] ruby_parser 1.0.0 Released

[Ryan Davis]

ruby_parser version 1.0.0 has been released!

* <http://parsetree.rubyforge.org/>

ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing
racc--which does by default use a C extension). RP's output is
the same as ParseTree's output: s-expressions using ruby's arrays and
base types.

## FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

* Pure ruby, no compiles.
* Incredibly simple interface.
* Output is 100% equivalent to ParseTree.
   * Can utilize PT's SexpProcessor and UnifiedRuby for language  
processing.
* Known Issue: Speed sucks currently. 5500 tests currently run in 21  
min.
* Known Issue: Code is waaay ugly. Port of a port. Not my fault. Will  
fix RSN.
* Known Issue: I don't currently support newline nodes.
* Known Issue: Totally awesome.
* Known Issue: dasgn_curr decls can be out of order from ParseTree's.
* TODO: Add comment nodes.

## SYNOPSIS:

   RubyParser.new.parse "1+1"
   # => s(:call, s(:lit, 1), :+, s(:array, s(:lit, 1)))
