+ragel (State Machine Compiler)
+
+Ragel compiles executable finite state machines from regular
+languages. Ragel targets C, C++, Objective-C, D, Java and Ruby.
+Ragel state machines can not only recognize byte sequences as regular
+expression machines do, but can also execute code at arbitrary points
+in the recognition of a regular language. Code embedding is done using
+inline operators that do not disrupt the regular language syntax.
