[antlr-interest] Size of the ANTLR-C#-.NET "community"?

[David Jung]

I've also been using ANTLR (v2.x) with C# and a fairly sizable grammar
with good results (one for a custom language with C++ order complexity).
Mostly under Linux/Mono rather than Window/.NET
(and using .NET 2.0 generics).
Due to the similarity between Java & C#, talk on the list is fairly easily
'translatable' in practice.  I've also used ANTLR from Java, but my first
experience was via C#.
I've not been working on the compiler/interpreter for a while now, but
am looking forward to getting back to it and converting over to ANTLR v3.
-David.
