Objj 2.0 PEG ecmascript

[smartmobili]

Hi,

I know that ObjectiveJ2 is supposed to used Parsing Expression
Grammar(PEG) to parse ecmascript and ObjectiveJ and today I found an
open source(google)
peg parser
http://es-lab.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/site/esparser/index.html
Wouldn't be a good start for ObjectiveJ 2.0 ?

Regarding PEG Parsers in general: I found PEG.js quite good (only used
it for simple stuff though):

CU,

Udo

Objective-j 2 is already well underway with our own parser...

Yeah, the reason behind writing our own parser is that if you try to parse our source files (or any files of meaningful size) with those existing PEG parsers you'll soon find they take far too long. For some context, if I recall correctly PEG.js took something like 90 seconds to parse jquery.js. (We try to parse your entire Obj-J program in less (hopefully far less) than a second)
