Hey foldr, re higher level language parser, I’d just like to say at uwaterloo it was common to use racket to write the compiler for the above^5 mentioned class (you could use racket or C).
Is this what you had in mind? Which language is best in your opinion for a parser?
- foldr 4y agoIf you're writing a traditional recursive descent parser, it doesn't make much difference (IMHO). Any vaguely modern programming language will work fine. If you want to use parser combinators, then something with basic support for functional programming (particularly closures and and a lightweight lambda syntax).
