I'll be looking at bison before long. Right now, I'm still trying to catch up with your efforts, unfortunately on a parallel track rather than in the same lane as you. There are a few changes I want to submit to the Go Authors in the next couple of days, then I'm going to compare my efforts with what you and Andrey have been doing, try to find the middle ground that will save everybody unnecessary pain. Bison/yacc is just not urgent enough and I have a suspicion that there are better qualified programmers out there. But if no one beats me to it, I'm prepared to get the work done. ++L PS: I'm a libmach build away from posting a mkfs archive to sources. Probably sometime in the morning.
