I just have to say that the Dhaka project and the side project of
building a Ruby grammar are just about the two coolest projects I've
seen in Rubyland lately. This is just terrific stuff!

Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh. IMHO author picked name from there.

Can you provide any additional examples? For example, creating a
simple DSL like LOGO using Dhaka? I think it would really help me
understand how to use this library. I think the idea and the concept
behind it is quite wonderful!

For example, when building a tokenizer -- can i have a word as a
"token" such as "canary" or does each token have to be a single
character? Based on the examples, they appear to only be single
characters -- I'm doing my best to abstract the information of the
examples -- as to what is part of the library and what is defined by
the user of the library (e.g. is :idle_state a key symbol for the
library?)

I'll dig into the actually library code at some point.

Thanks for this!

We are planning to integrate Dhaka with Ruport soon, so more examples
would make life easier for us, too :)
