Implementations

John demonstrated his interactive processor.

Norm has his GLL-based parser running now - orders of magnitude faster (e.g. 800-character comment)

Norm trying to tackle some very large parse tree problems - mixed progress

Michael is the only one not converting into BNF form (e.g. not repetition-expansion)

He also uses expansion inline of hidden non-terminals

(See his Balisage paper for some details)
