Pretty cool tool, the NLP focus is surprising but I'm not sure if it is a marketing ploy or fundamental to the technology. The nice syntax is also an improvement over things like LPeg, which seem to obscure the grammar by forcing it to be written in Lua. Seems like it could overlap in functionality with Rebol/RED parse, which I believe has been posted on here before, LPeg, or just PEGs and Packrat parsing in general.
The parse engine is implemented with a PEG, so it is probably a lot slower, but also supports pattern matching over whole words. Also, the database aspect of Nevod seems interesting and offers potentially a huge speed. But as far as I can tell, the syntax looks like a PEG with some implicit rules that separate words. As far as speed goes, I definitely believe that Nevod could be very fast but I haven't seen any numbers.
Shameless plug, I've implemented something similar with PEGs for Janet, a lisp I have been working on for a while. I make no claims to it's speed, but the peg interpreter is written in tight C so it shouldn't be too slow. The peg module in Janet works with a DSL that looks like a lispy EBNF and results in a recursive parser compiled to bytecode for the interpreter.
