Stroustrup directed me to inquire here about the Scandenavian language Beta in the environment Mjoelner. He put what I'm looking for better than I can, so I shall quote him: bs>One problem with genuine OO approaches to parsing is that speed is bs>crucially dependent on low-level character handling and that much bs>of our world view is character/word based. One cautionary tale was bs>an OO parser that was speeded up 25 times by a rewrite into bs>traditional-style C. Specifically, I have implemented a pattern matching language in C++ using a synthesis of OO and procedural models, and I am interested in reviewing any papers on this particular subject, for an academic work I am assembling on my work in particular and parsing and pattern matching in C++ in general. Any ideas, pointers, research links, comments you may have for me would be appreciated.
