RedParse is a ruby parser written in pure ruby. Instead of YACC or  
ANTLR, it’s parse tool is a home-brewed “compiler-interpreter”.  
Currently,  
RedParse can correctly parse in excess of 99.5% of existing ruby files.  
The RedParse rule set is about a quarter the size of MRI’s YACC-based  
parser, and the parse tree format is much prettier than the nests of  
arrays  
emitted by parse\_tree or ruby\_parser. (RedParse trees are both object-  
oriented and a much closer reflection of the actual structure of the  
original  
source.)
