Hi Sven,
I'd put RB + SmaCC among the lot. But I consider that really non-trivial :
the pattern language of RB (and the underlying pattern matching and
unification algorithm) is top notch, and how SmaCC builds on RB to virtually
generate code / optimise code / then compile is nothing short of amazing.
SmaCC comes with a pattern matching/unification algorithm over ASTs +
auto-generation of AST code + visitor + tree equality + the equivalent of
Flex/Bison(*) + a GUI in 11401 lines of code.
SmaCC deserves definitively more advertisements and should be added to
MOOSE platform I think.
When I see all the buzz around languages workbenches like Rascal:

with MOOSE+RB+SmaCC+Reflectivity+GTools we are close to these tools
(or even better).
