I wrote an article on this some time ago.  It predates the public Internet, so there's no article link to provide.  Yes, BNF figured into this prominently, but so many people don't seem to think in those terms any more.

Hi all,

The GoLUG mailing list is currently featuring a discussion of parsing,
compiler building, interpreter building, etc, with explorations into
Backus-Naur form, flex, bison, and a Python approach. Our next meeting
will be about these topics.

The GoLUG mailing list is available at
http://golug.org/mailman/listinfo/golug_golug.org

Thanks,
