Larry sez:
But the syntax isn't all that
much more complicated than C, certainly not more than about twice as
complicated. I personally think C's syntax is a little too simple (heresy!)
for certain kinds of problems [...]
If you think the syntax of C is simple, just try writing an LALR(1)
grammar for ANSI C declarators. Yuck!!! (Don't forget to allow
typedef names to be redeclared in the right places -- that's what
makes it "fun".)
