question about dpc

[dgryski]

I wanted to check play with ragel, which is why I chose it for this project. Nex and https://github.com/cznic/golex are two other options for lexer generators I looked at. Nex is the simpler of the two. I would look also at performance benchmarks. I have the feeling ragel is fastest, then golex, then Nex. (But this is all conjecture.)

if speed performance matters, writing the lexer per hand is the way to go...

here some other go compiler project worth to be mentioned: https://github.com/zellyn/gocool
