Many, many bright people have dashed their foreheads against the problem. Andreas Jonsson thinks he's largely cracked it: http://davidgerard.co.uk/notes/2010/08/22/staring-into-the-eye-of-cthulhu/ - and even that required custom patches to ANTLR. The result runs in C and is of comparable speed to PHP. It isn't quite a specification as I understand it, but it's on the way. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
