Re: GSOC 2016: FastParse library

Hello! 

Several days ago I started to write markdown parser, but now this task 
seems to me very hard to implement. I tried to google grammars of markdown 
or some specification, but markdown literally doesn't have any standard and 
any grammar I found is quite large and complicated for the first experience 
with library. So may I write CSS or Smalltalk parser first? They have clear 
and concise grammars, which won't cause difficulties in the implemenation.
