Interested in a better Perl version?

[polettix]

Hi! I read about this project from this blog post from 2009, when the generator was in Perl and it was... slooooowwwww.

I did an implementation of the parser and of the generator that is not based on Parse::RecDescent any more, and it's as fast as I could expect a reasonable implementation. The example <<<<<<<s>>>>>>> takes less than 30 ms in my Linux VM.

I'll be describing it shortly on my blog, I'll add a reference here as soon as it is online. If you are interested I can contribute the whole implementation here instead of creating a different project, so we can avoid too much dispersion.

Let me know!

Pull Request #20 is about this... I wrote about the implementation in a small series of blog posts, starting here.
