One too many mornings

Last week I bought an o’reilly book on lex and yacc from the Shelter book shop. It was only a few pounds, and I have never used these supposedly powerful tools. Most of the book is fully on pretty no functional examples, then it leaps into a simple menu compiler. In my life I have hand-coded menus maybe ten times. And it is bloodly boring. This lets me define a menu in a little langauge, add have the menuing system auto-generated. Can’t believe I’ve never used this before. I can’t wait to hear the groasn as I introduce another tool.
