You could argue that Perl 6's grammars are a complete transformation. Please see https://docs.perl6.org/language/grammar_tutorial for more information. Note that Perl 6's grammars are used to parse Perl 6 code itself, so it's powerful enough to build complete language compilers out of.

Cool, Perl6 gained a native context-free parser. Yeah, that gets it in the league, I would have to compare it with Python parser libraries to decide what's better.

But not, Haskell and Prolog are still leaders here, with Haskell currently having the lead.
