Fancy a self-hosted programming language for the Rubinius VM

Out of curiosity, by parsers and compiler-compilers did you mean Lex and Yacc? It is always a significant undertaking to implement a dynamic language in that way.

Lex, Yacc, the RBParser, and SmaCC, and perhaps some others.

Thanks for the info. Surprisingly, when I was googling RBParser, I got two different results: one being the RBParser class from Smalltalk (I guess that's the one you meant), the other is a new project with the same name hosted on github [1] -- a Ruby code parser written in OCaml. Both make perfect sense in my search.
