The split in lexing and parsing is indeed artificial and one often has to make use of states or even cases where the parsing is controlling the lexing. Try for example to parse an HTML file with embedded CSS and/or JavaScrips using lex

An interesting article about parsing techniques that were developed half a century ago when there were still severe memory limitations. It would be nice if it at least would mention that these techniques were developed because back-tracking

The example ignores the fact that pinmode is not just an initialization kind of method that you need to call once, but that there examples where you have to use it in the 'loop'. The most common is the bidirectional serial communi

This implies that the Mayan must have been recording the positions of the planets with great accuracy over a rather long period of time, probably spanning several generations.

If they would have cared about civilian casualties, they should not have started the invasion of Ukraine in the first place. They had zero legit reasons to start it in the first place.

I am not sure what is harder: learn separate characters for words or learn the correct spelling for words? Especially with English where there is a big gap between spelling and pronouciation, learning the correct spelling for words takes a

I am a bit surprised about the number of 'unknowns' in the data for my mother toungue (Dutch) [1]. Are these still open questions with respect to the Dutch language or is it simply that no expert on Dutch grammar has been asked to

The main problem with humanity is the lack of wisdom, not the lack of progress. Discovering something is nice, but if you are not able to handle it, it is of no use. When antibiotics were discovered, it made a great improvement on health of

Funny little language. I used it in an exercise for the a workshop I gave at MCH2022 called 'Workshop: A practical approach to parsing' [1]. My solution can be found at GitHub [2] and can be used with IParseStudio [3] to execute p

I do like the npf_pprintf function with a call-back that is called for each outputted character. It would have been nice to have such a function in the C standard. Even beter would be an interator interface, that gives you the next characte

I feel this article is not very balanced. It does not mention that having a colonoscopy is not without risks (perforation is 1 in 2000) and could potentially lead to death (3 in 100,000) [0]. Combining this with the high false positive rate

VB6 is often underrated as a programming language, but it did have some neat things that are still not present in existing programming languages. (They were dropped in VB.NET.) In a sense VB6 is still ahead of its time. One is the transpare

I do not know of a simple example, but I have heard there are some example in the C++ grammar where the look-a-head can be as large as possible. Parsers for C(C++) are often not purely grammatical, but also keep a symbol table to resolve th

Interesting approach. Maybe it is even better to first start with a back-tracking parser. Although back-tracking has the reputation of being slow, there is a rather straightforward mapping from grammar to functions. Although it is slower th

The mathematics in this article looks not all that complex. From the little that I understand about it, it is not a direct proof that the equations are stable, but that it is based on a definition of enthropy and a stochastic argument. That
