This looks cool, but it appears to be on hold:

It is, but as mentioned in the same thread the parser side of things is pretty complete and quite robust already.

It's also a nicely written piece of code if you need to dig in and change anything.

Finally, the fact it's MIT licensed means you can just lift and use the code as a basis if needed.

Just to note: I'm not affiliated with the project in anyway, but it did save me an unreasonable amount of time recently.

So I thought I'd spread the joy.

This does look pretty interesting. I'd be interested in seeing someone do a writeup of various parser toolkits for .NET. I feel like I'm out of date with what people are doing given I hadn't heard of this one before.

So, Americans won't get Irony?

Guessing nationality from names is always risky, but I don't think the author is American :-)
