If you just jumped to the code, it's in the first 2.5 sentences:
> People are terrified of parsers and parsing. To the point of using magical libraries with custom syntaxes to learn just to get started. In the hopes of completely shattering this preconception
Seems mostly to me about making parsing less "magical" for people who don't understand what's really going on.
- mrkeen 3y agoI agree with your description of TFA's goal, but I don't think the article hits that goal. Parent is right in that other approaches (parser combinators) can actually make parsing less scary.
