Re: Earley being forgotten, I've been working on the "nearley" Earley parsing library for JS for many years now and it now has a very solid user-base (200+ dependents on npm). It's probably not the fastest a JS-based par

This is a great question! I don’t actually know the precise condition for box-diagram-ability of a DAG, but I’ve spent a long time thinking about it; it’s partly why I wrote that program. It’s not a deterministic algorithm, it’s powered by
