If you can get a good toolkit for writing a GLR parser, then people will write their own tokenizers, BNF formal grammars, and plug it into your parser. It would take a single person about two to six weeks to get something thoroughly polished in JavaScript along the lines of what is described. However I think that without some form of centralization, (perhaps a subreddit? idk) it will be difficult for the standardization and namespace organization process to take place. If it is just one person, there is no question of standardization; if it is multiple people, the question of who is in charge of the namespace becomes relevant. Who is in charge of the namespace in this particular experiment?
