[erlang-questions] [ANN] neotoma, a PEG/packrat library for Erlang

[Torben Hoffmann]

Hi Sean,

Great work - are you aware of the Erlang parsec implementation by Jeff
Meunier?
http://www.engr.uconn.edu/~jeffm/Source/Erlang/

You are one up on Jeff since you allow usage of a .peg file as input - I
have written a parser using Jeff's library and it works like a charm, but it
is manually created code and that is not what you really want!

Cheers,
Torben
