Could someone kindly explain to me why, in chapter 10 of the Building
Cocoa Applications book(OReilly), the authors chose to construct a
back-end in lex and yacc.
Yup: since lex/yacc is the best tool for such things by far.
Would it be better to just do the same as a cocoa foundation tool?
Well, it depends. As a way of learning Foundation it would. As a way of
making a parser though it would not -- by far.
Does this mean that now I should also learn lex/ yacc?
Definitely. It's a great tool, worth knowing.
