Err, no. Nothing so up-to-the-minute, funky, groovy, where-it's-at-man (have
I got the lingo right ;-) YANGA was based on YACC - Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler - which has been around, ooh, almost as long as I have,
almost as long as UNIX (for our younger readers: UNIX is the slightly less

source.
I'll have to have a look into this Nethack thing,
