Nick Sieger just posted (well ... I just found out about it) a graph of the Ruby grammar on his blog. He also posted the same graphs for Java and Javascript. While the pictures are interesting, impressive and useful, what's even more interesting, to me, anyhow, is that there exists a tool set to do this sort of thing! I haven't had a chance to go tracking down the whole tool set yet, but it's definitely on my todo list at this point. Most of it appears to be tied to Antlr, which leads me to wonder if it can/should be ported to Ruby. And yes, Pat, if I can find a grammar for Forth I might well generate the picture for it. :) http://blog.nicksieger.com/articles/2006/10/27/visualization-of-rubys-grammar Thanks, Nick!!
