Maybe the person was talking about antlr[1], "ANother Tool for Language Recognition, a language tool that provides a framework for constructing recognizers, interpreters, compilers, and translators from grammatical descriptions containing actions in a variety of target languages". It even seems to have preliminary support for generating an elisp parser[2][3] There is also an emacs mode for editing antlr files[4]. Sounds like an interesting project.
