There are already 6 grammars that work pretty well that enthusiasts of a particular language have written. (Erlang, python, csharp, javascript, 2 php parsers, and ruby.) I note the absence of C and C++. I guess that's because their grammar is so complex that the job would be hard to do. But it is a real shame to support Microsoft's language, C#, and not support Java. Can you recruit someone to support Java? Also we need Emacs Lisp and Scheme?
