I had done some work in this direction in my org parser for racket [0]. That work is stalled at the moment (though I still intend to come back to it), but many of the interactions between org and traditional formal grammars have been explored there. 0. https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry

I have my own parser as a pest grammar. It has just the basic features.

eter just because my program needs org-mode parser. But even if I could integrate elisp into my program as easy as I do with lua, I probably wouldn't do it, because parser in lisp doesn't really solves the problem, it simplifies it a bit (I don't need to deal with the grammar) but shifts to another level: I need to learn how org-mode is represented as a lisp object. I need to reverse engineer the formal definition of that recursive object to deal with it, or turn on defensive programming expecting anything. The only realistic way of dealing with org mode is to write code for emacs. There are exceptions of this rule, like pandoc, but I don't trust them.

This is incorrect. You can write a parser for org. See for example https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry. Work toward standardization has been stalled because I (among others) have not had time to circle back to work on it. In part this is because the lack of a standard has not blocked most use cases since emacs is open source and can run almost anywhere.

We're in the middle of updating the org syntax document. I've been preoccupied and haven't gotten a chance to take another pass, but there should be a new version out in the next month or so. See also [0]. 0. https://github.com/tgbugs/laundry/tree/master/laundry/gramma...
