ruby_parser (RP) is a ruby parser written in pure ruby (utilizing racc--which does by default use a C extension). RP's output is the same as ParseTree's output: s-expressions using ruby's arrays and base types.

FEATURES/PROBLEMS:

• Pure ruby, no compiles.
• Incredibly simple interface.
• Output is 100% equivalent to ParseTree.
  • Can utilize PT's SexpProcessor and UnifiedRuby for language processing.
• Known Issue: Speed sucks currently. 5500 tests currently run in 21 min.
• Known Issue: Code is waaay ugly. Port of a port. Not my fault. Will fix RSN.
• Known Issue: I don't currently support newline nodes.
• Known Issue: Totally awesome.
• Known Issue: dasgn_curr decls can be out of order from ParseTree's.
• TODO: Add comment nodes.

SYNOPSIS:

RubyParser.new.parse "1+1" # => s(:call, s(:lit, 1), :+, s(:array, s(:lit, 1)))
