My latest Ocean of Awareness blog post is "Parsing Left Recursions".
"A lot has been written about parsing left recursion. Unfortunately, much of it simply adds to the mystery. In this post, I hope to frame the subject clearly and briefly."
"Marpa and combinator parsing" -- the Marpa algorithm as the basis of better combinator parsing.
This is the second post of a pair on my Ocean of Awareness blog. (The first one was "Marpa and procedural parsing")
"Why is parsing considered solved?" is the newest entry on my Ocean of Awareness blog.
It is often said that parsing is a "solved problem". Given the level of frustration with the state of the art, the underuse of the very powerful technique of Language-Oriented Programming due to problematic tools, and the vast superiority of human parsing ability over computers, this requires explanation.On what grounds would someone say that parsing is "solved"? To understand…
I blog about Perl, with a focus on parsing and Marpa, my parsing algorithm based on Jay Earley's.
