Sorry, no. I used to be really into parsing algorithms and tools, and I still consider them useful for more mundane tasks. But the last thing I need when exploring the syntax of a new language is someone else's arbitrary limitations.
My language parsers [0] tend to be rather messy recursive-decentish creations. But I think that's fine; since in a new language the syntax should be allowed to move around freely, and prematurely nailing it to the floor to check a box isn't really going to help anyone.
What usually happens is I'll tighten the parser as needed along the way when I feel confident enough. Which brings us to the issue with parsing tools, they're all in from the start rather than gradual.
