      Wouldn't that still be a finite state automata?

He mentioned recursion, so no :-)

I also hate working with ANTLR/YACC ... heavy, hard to start with, steep learning curve. These tools are designed for industrial-strength compilers, where performance / flexibility matters.

And PEGs are better than CFGs (that's teeshirt material right there :))

Aaahhh, ofc, now I see why that wouldnt work. Guess I learn something every day :)
