Ha! I was going to comment in here that I used Monodraw for the book and really fell in love with the tool. What I did more recently is to use Monodraw to create diagrams of CFGs and put those next to the test cases (see [0] or [1]) which e

Author here. Yes, that's exactly right. I wanted to show how to write a parser/interpreter for something that you encounter every day. JavaScript-like syntax, with curly braces and `if`/`else` is just that.

I wrote a longer justification for this in the introduction of the second book, but the short version is exactly what you wrote: they're easier to build. Since since the goal of the book(s) is not to show how to build production-ready,
