Show HN: Yantra – an LALR(1) parser generator for C++

Yantra is a new C++ parser generator that combines lexer, parser, AST construction, and tree walking in one tool, which could simplify compiler- and language-related development for teams building native tooling. For IT organizations, the strategic implication is not broad enterprise modernization but a narrower productivity gain for product engineering teams that maintain DSLs, code generators, or custom parsing logic, potentially reducing build complexity and dependence on separate parser/lexer toolchains. Its native, no-dependency C++ approach may be attractive where minimizing runtime and build overhead matters, though its early-stage maturity means CIOs should view it as an emerging option rather than a standard platform choice.
