There has been a lot of research on Link grammars for natural language
processing. They do pretty well, and link failures (grammar doesn't
match input) seem well-correlated to very specific error conditions.


So it occurred to me to wonder whether anyone's using them for
programming language development? Or, specifically, whether there
are any tools similar in spirit to Lex/Yacc/etc that use link
grammars rather than production grammars?
