What does this comment mean? Since not particularly well-versed in programming, all I understood was that this project has something that can read data? What is impressive about a tool that can read C++?
Would appreciate if someone can explain, thanks!
- dymk 2y agoC++ is a notoriously difficult language to parse [1], so hand-rolling a parser (even for a subset of the language) is an impressive feat. It's also interesting that they decided to implement their own tokenizer and lexer instead of using something "off the shelf".
