Guille I think that we should also have a look at Xtreams and see if there is not a core inside. What I think that is that current stream implementation is quite terrible. Stef

BTW we were discussing about deprecating Regexp and using a RePlugin to bind to a default mainstream regexp expressions lib so that people can use the same expressions that they are used to in Pharo. Any ideas? If this is important for you, you can help making it true.

Stef, we need to think about it carefullly. Streams are used in the kernel for many tasks. Replacing them by a big framework will be a huge drawback for bootstrapping purposes. Alternatively, we could think of refactoring the kernel to not use streams, but so far this is not possible...

Reability: the more you read a language, the more you can read it. And saying Python is super readable can have a look at how BSON is dealt with in the MongoDB driver. https://github.com/mongodb/mongo-python-driver/tree/master/bson Now go check the same in MongoTalk. Where you can actually

I use PetitParser for this purpose. It provides: - an incremental way to build a parser especially when you use its bounded sea abilities, - a way to debug problems, and - a reasonably readable outcome that can be extended to a more complicated parser. For example, in your case, you can use:
