Quite possibly bad ones; i'm open to criticism/suggestions.

I (gladly) have no experience with C++, so yes, the Erlang route is
easier for me.

Generally just a(nother) personal preference; I enjoy writing parsers
more than I do messing around with grammars and generators. However, I
didn't consciously make that decision in this case, so I might give
yecc a try.
