I plan on making a custom language via [peg.js](http://pegjs.org) that would easily translate user input into elastic Query DSL.

Was wondering if somebody else already did this?

For my use case (link below to a reddit post about our open source project called ExileTrade):

I assume that I have good reason to implement a custom parser/lexer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
