SableCC

Okay, imagine you're playing with Legos and you want to make a house. You have different kinds of Lego blocks - some are big, some are small, some are red, some are blue, etc. But you want your house to be made up of specific blocks - a blue one on the bottom, a red one on top, and so on.

Now imagine you're a computer programmer and you want to make a program that can understand a specific language. Just like with Lego blocks, there are different parts of the language you need to pay attention to - like the keywords (words that have a special meaning in the language) and the syntax (the way the words are arranged to make a sentence).

That's where SableCC comes in. It's a tool that helps programmers "parse" (or understand) a specific language. Just like how you would sort through your Legos to find the ones you need, SableCC sorts through the language to find the different parts you need. It helps make sure that the language is written correctly and that the different parts are all put together in the right way.

So just like you can use certain Lego blocks to build a specific house, programmers can use SableCC to build programs that work with specific languages.
