Ohm: A library and language for building parsers, interpreters, compilers, etc.
Oh, this is awesome!
Truth be told, I'm glad I didn't know about it when I wrote a much more simplified project (shameless plug: https://github.com/catapart/Magnit.Tokenization), because I DEFINITELY would have just used your solution, even though its a bit overkill for those needs.
That said, after having finished what I needed, of course I started to wonder about what else I could add to it, with the main stopping force being the need to rewrite the parsing engine (regex ain't going to cut it for more complicated syntaxes). Which is one of those dev projects that linger in the back of your mind until you either see it through, or see that someone else has done it.
And, on that record, I think you've done a better job than I could ever attempt, so I'm very glad to know about this library, now! I don't have anything specifically in mind for it, but having the doors it opens available is quite nice!

Ohm: A library and language for building parsers, interpreters, compilers, etc.
How does this compare with Chevrotain[1]?
More specifically, can I build lexers with Ohm? Can it generate a syntax diagram from a grammar?

Why are you building a programming language?
I don't think I'll have time to make one any time soon, unfortunately. My original plan was to write a compiler in TypeScript using Chevrotain, and see if it's possible to compile down to TypeScript's AST and feed that into its own compiler programmatically. Basically piggybacking on Microsoft's hard work (work smart, not hard). I don't know if it's possible, but it's what I'd try first.
