Possible to migrate to Prism? #117

Hi there, thanks so much for ripper-tags! I use it every day and make heavy use of tags for jumping around and it's excellent!

I was reading this post today and wondered if migrating from using ripper to using Prism might be viable for this project, and whether it might speed up parsing. Thoughts?

Hey, thanks for writing in. I already have a Prism migration branch going, but it's only a code spike for now. I had hoped that it will make ripper-tags end up with a simpler implementation, but it's already a lot of code. I'm not sure if it's feasible for me to complete the migration on my own and what the actual benefit of the rewrite would be, which is why I paused my work for now. Would you like me to publish the code spike in a branch?
