instaparse
If you're not trampolining your parser, why bother getting up in the morning?

Does anyone know if instaparse has been been ported to any other languages? Not much seems to be coming up in google. What a tremendously useful library!

not to my knowledge, unless you count ClojureScript

the underlying engine is actually based on an existing algorithm called GLL, which was originally implemented in Racket https://github.com/epsil/gll

but being able to create parsers based on arbitrary EBNF specifications (rather than a language-specific DSL of combinators) I think is unique to instaparse

yeah, I was so surprised when I started getting into parsers and no one seemed to take BNF as input

Huge kudos to you and your old man!
