I am aware of those classes that come with Smalltalk-80 (ParseNode, Compiler, etc.), but am wondering about the appropriateness of the "object oriented paradigm" for efficient language analysis. I'd be interested in *any* information, including the following, about such applications: What are the specifics of the application (e.g., natural language, term rewriting system, formal specification language, ..) and the language being processed? What types of grammars (context free, ..) are supported? What are the object classes in the application (e.g., tokens, terminals, non-terminals, rules, actions, parse trees, ..)? And how are they structured? How is the application structured? What is the control strategy for rule application?
