We haven't lost any momentum on the parser. In fact it has been done  
for quite a while. We have, however, lost momentum on the rest of the  
compiler.

We should have probably talked about that before we made 3 of them. I  
think we did agree on me, but somehow Sigurd and I ended up doing more  
or less the same thing concurrently.
