I’ve now done flayjs and flayc in 70 and 61 lines of code  
respectively… anyone know of a java parser in ruby? That’d really  
fill out the set. I’d prefer if it weren’t antlr based so it is a ruby  
first class citizen (and doesn’t carry along such a heavy payload)

Maybe a Java implementation in Ruby? I know some reasons why no  
one would ever write this…
