Yet another
IDIOMATIC QUALIFIER USED IN THE NAME OF PROGRAMS
Yet Another; YAAP
Among programmers, yet another (often abbreviated ya, Ya, or YA in the initial part of an acronym) is an idiomatic qualifier in the name of a computer program, organisation, or event that is confessedly unoriginal.
Yet Another
IDIOMATIC QUALIFIER USED IN THE NAME OF PROGRAMS
Yet Another; YAAP
<jargon> (YA-, after Unix's yacc - Yet Another
Compiler-Compiler) A humorous allusion often used in titles to
acknowledge that the topic is not original, though the content
is. As in "Yet Another AI Group" or "Yet Another {Simulated
Annealing} Algorithm". If used of others' work, it
describes something of which there are already far too many.
In hackish acronyms the "YA" prefix almost invariably expands
to Yet Another, e.g. YABA, YAUN.

Yacc
Yacc (Yet Another Compiler-Compiler) is a computer program for the Unix operating system developed by Stephen C. Johnson. It is a Look Ahead Left-to-Right Rightmost Derivation (LALR) parser generator, generating a LALR parser (the part of a compiler that tries to make syntactic sense of the source code) based on a formal grammar, written in a notation similar to Backus–Naur Form (BNF). Yacc is supplied as a standard utility on BSD and AT&T Unix. GNU-based Linux distributions include Bison, a forward-compatible Yacc replacement.
