I think most programming languages tokenize first. Tokenizing is absurdly fast, like 100x faster than printing to a terminal.

  > Tokenizing is absurdly fast is rather a very good reason to interleave tokenizing and parsing. Otherwise your tokenizer will just get stuck in iowait for no good reason.

    Sure, if shaving a millisecond off the execution time of your compiler is your idea of a good time.
