I just wrote a quick and dirty comparison between YARD and Spirit and YARD performs roughly 10x faster as a toy C++ tokenizer. I know Joel, I said I wouldn't do any comparisons, but I couldn't resist, what with Dave's claim to be outperforming Spirit by 50x!
Sure, no problem. But watch out, Spirit-2 will have a speed improvement in the 10X-20X range over classic Spirit ;-) I already have some test cases, and this does not touch on predictive parsing and lexing. Cheers, -- Joel de Guzman http://www.boost-consulting.com http://spirit.sf.net
