I wanted to write an ed clone, so I made a grammar for the commands. Unfortunately it was in Perl (Parse::Yapp), which as I found out it isn't suitable for anything slightly complicated.
Currently I think monadic parser combinators are a better idea than a not-even-Touring tarpit.

That reminds me, the Anonix guys can't even write ed or grep and they want to write a whole kernel.

Kernels are quite trivial to write. The real problem is designing a production quality one that is both unique and useful.

We haven't had any ed nor grep submissions yet, so more likely noone has tried, or someone may be sort of working on it in their spare time. Despite Cudder's recent news post, Anonix is not a project with hard deadlines, we're all basically writing stuff whenever we feel like it.

What other stuff have you and Cudder written that isn't Anonix-related? Just curious...
