in reply to Breaking The Rules II
Quite interesting!
On a side note: When I wrote Math::Symbolic::Parser(::Yapp), I stumbled upon a similar essay at http://egparser.sourceforge.net/ . The author focuses more on the performance aspects of the available parsers or rather parser generators, but he also talks about the amount of work required to get going.
Cheers,
