No.

I'll think about distill I come up with something.

I feel the need to reach for a bottle whenever someone sends me a screenshot that is actually a picture of a monitor taken with a phone, then printed, then scanned, then faxed, re-scanned, and then embedded in a Word doc and emailed.
And it's a screenshot of some plain-text message that could've been copied/pasted.

By the end of the day I should have a rudimentary implementation of GLoRy, my GLR parser.
GLR is the most powerful parsing algorithm known. It allows you to express your grammar however you want with never any conflicts (all "conflicts" make the GLR fork its stack and try each conflicting rule)
It can process highly ambiguous grammars, including natural language!
The tables are only LALR(1) sized, and how fast it is is inversely proportional to how many times it has been forked. This is all very very good, as it leads to linear time O(n) parsing when there are no ambiguities/forks
Also this is the only GLR implementation i've seen capable of streaming. The rest force you to load the entire document into memory at once.
The upshot of that is you could feed it an entire Bible and not worry about memory.
If there is a parser generator to end all parser generators its this.
It only has one real disadvantage and that's that it's more difficult to use depending on how you're using it. Since it can return multiple parse trees for a single parse the code to use it has to be able to handle that.
Anyway, GLoRy is peak parsing. If you can't parse it with GLoRy chances are it can't be parsed. =)
So cool!

Hands up anyone who didn't immediately think of this!

It feels a bit like that. Plus a GLR parser is essentially a bunch of LR parsers stitched together so maybe it's fitting

 for the patchwork anyway.
Let's hope stitches will hold

That sounds intriguing!
Further, my energy is up lately, might play with that!
Keep up the good work and enthusiasm!

It's parsing but I need to put in error recovery and do more debugging. Then I can refactor it and add the actual code generation. The whole thing should take me no more than a week (*knock on wood*)

No hurry!
Sounds interesting!
Next step is write a book about it!

Ha! Anyway I'm glad you're feeling better.

"The trophy would not fit in the suitcase because it was too big" would render one parse tree.
However, semantic analysis - which is not what my parser does would be further processing on that tree. Because of the final "it", semantic analysis would yield two trees, one where "it" referred to the trophy, and one where "it" referred to the suitcase - it if worked like my parser does.

well.. I doubt you can really parse human language like that...
a natural language parser should cater for spelling mistake, grammar mistake, forgotten words, puns....

Parsing is one thing. Semantic analysis is a whole different story.
That said, GLR was actually invented to process natural language.
So yes, given a proper grammar (which would include a vocabulary) it would parse it, no matter how ambiguous.
It simply returns every possible tree from that parse.

okay then!
just a little step on the way!
