+compiles finite state machines into code in various languages
+Ragel compiles finite state machines from regular languages into C, C++,
+Objective-C, D, Ruby or Java code. Ragel allows the programmer to embed
+actions at any point in a regular language. Non-determinism can be
+controlled through the use of embedded priorities and guarded regular
+language operators. Ragel also supports the construction of scanners and
+the building of state machines using state-charts. Ragel can be used to
+create robust recognizers and parsers which run very fast. It can work
+with integer-sized alphabets and can compile large state machines.
+The generated code has no dependencies.
