In a completely different vein, tools.rd is a simplicistic recursive descent parser framework implemented at compiletime that I've used for most/all of my toy languages. It keeps things trivial - there's no lexing stage, it parses straight from input string. It's not that well documented, but if you want, give me a simple language description and I can write you a sample parser. It's probably the easiest to use though - just mix it in from D code :)
