OTOH, Haskell and Parsec [1] are simply wonderful for writing parsers. In fact, I use Haskell in the build process of Ion for parsing translatable strings from Lua source with lua-xgettext [2]. With Parsec, the parser [3] can be pretty much written in a DSL monad as the language is specified, without crummy parser generators.
