Once, I wanted a parser, and being the sort of person who thinks there is value in seeing what other people have done before, I took a look at parser generators.
The learning curve seemed long and steep, much more than seemed necessary for my modest requirements, so I rolled my own.
I got a parser out of the exercise, but also an appreciation for why the tools exist, and a new-found motivation for learning how to use them.
