Care to write an external DSL in Ruby ?

I mean : write a parser and interpreter for a DSL. In Ruby.


It is this kind of stuff Rubys talk about when they mention "DSLs in

http://www.artima.com/rubycs/articles/ruby_as_dsl.html

yes, I know - embedded DSLs.

FWIW, after a *quick* glance at this article, I haven't seen anything
that seemed undoable nor even difficult to do in Python - it all boils
down to reading an ini-like file and creating a stub source-tree from it.
