The benefit of parser combinators is that they allow you to write "tree shaped code" to parse a syntax that doesn't map cleanly to a tree, ex: a c-style syntax. My argument was that if the article wanted to show off the rust

It seems dirty to use parser combinators and a tokenizer generator for lisp instead of just... writing the parser. That's part of the beauty of lisp. Maybe a different syntax would have fit this sort of post better.

Bump allocators are incredibly fast, and are super efficient in generational GCs where compaction is super cheap, however almost all (maybe all) modern languages don't usually cross kernel boundaries when allocating memory, including C

I think you're missing the point of the previous comment, they are saying a good proxy for it being worth it to optimize, is if you're willing to benchmark it.

Not 100% sure what they mean, but a lot of the api choices really try to make indexing decisions explicit. ex: Bounds::Excluded and iterators like the other commenter mentioned.

When market making its not really possible to lose 200k in a "black swan event" in regards to price movements. A software error on the other hand...

There's really only like 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe which isn't that much more than the number of neurons.
