    So you want to go from Spende to Spende+genitive to Beitrag+genitive to Beitrags. In addition to Spacy etc. you might look at Finite State Transducers, which I believe are bidirectional, i.e. for both analysis and generation. XFST and SFST and OpenFST are a few of the FST toolkits. See https://github.com/hfst/hfst for the Helsinki FST; there's a German transducer for it at https://sourceforge.net/projects/hfst/files/resources/morphological-transducers/hfst-german-installable.tar.gz/download. I don't think there is much of a learning curve, and there should be plenty of documentation.

    The regex syntax is a bit quirky due to backwards compatibility with lexicons written in XFST, see https://github.com/hfst/hfst/wiki/Regular-Expression-Operato...

    The fundamental problem comes from assigning meaning to whitespace (in this case, concatenation). I had the same issues when developing KBNF ( https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf/blob/master/kbnf.md ) which operates in a closely related space.

    In early development, I took a number of cues from regex that turned out to be bad ideas, in particular using whitespace for concatenation (which all BNF dialects seem to do).

    Switching to '&' for concatenation fixed it and made things a lot clearer, as it would also do for Pomsky:

        'Hello' & ' '+ & ('world' | 'pomsky')

    Hi everyone! Merry Christmas and happy new year!

    I'm making a modernized BNF-style metalanguage that supports grammars for text and binary formats, but unless there's some kind of outside review, I won't find any blind spots I have until long after release.

    If you have experience in grammars or protocols (text or binary), could you take a quick look?

    Note: I'm not aiming for perfect expressivity; just 80-90% of use cases without making things overcomplicated so that it can be used descriptively in documentation.

    Boredom is what led to pretty much every project I've ever done. I usually have a list in my head of things that could be made better, but they never come to anything until I have a lengthy period of nothing to do.

    Latest example: I had to take all my vacation time this year or else I'd lose it. I got so bored that I built this over the past weeks: https://github.com/kstenerud/kbnf
