Bob give his own answer, but since I work closely with Bob (others) on the
FreeRIDE and WxRuby projects I can tell you what I know.
The original motivation for this parser was the FreeRIDE project. The
FreeRIDE IDE needs a fast and accurate Ruby parser to enable some of the
high-end stuff that we want to implement (we are currently using ripper, but
it is using a modified version of the Ruby 1.6 grammar). The goal here is to
put a wrapper around the actual parser that is used by the Ruby interpreter.
The wrapper will have the kind of api that we need and will always be
accurate.
