Yeah I've written compilers for Swift, C#, Java, JavaScript and Pascal and agree Pascal is the cleanest and nicest language, both on the parsing side and writing in.
- frik 9y agoPascal language has a LL(1) grammar, typical for Wirth and other 1980s work. LL(1) grammars are of great practical interest, as parsers for these grammars are easy to construct, and many computer languages are designed to be LL(1) for this reason.
- ckok 9y agoI always hand write them but yeah. LL(1) is always nice
- i_feel_great 9y agoIs this why Ada's syntax was extended from Pascal?
