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).

SmaCC requires a bit of effort. It's not trendy in research like
PetitParser is, so spending research student time on it (if I had any :()
is costly. But for providing tools for business partners, it is very
valuable: the parsers are fast and reliable.

I was at that talk, and I am not convinced that we are at that level, we are certainly not
better in my opinion. The advantage that they have is the domain-specific language on top
of the parsing infrastructure which makes it easy and fast to write (at least) the demos
he is showing. We don’t have that and his talk showed me that it is an important thing
that is missing.

This is not the same Rascal has a pattern-matching and relationship
queries.
