Interval Parsing Grammars for File Format Parsing (2023) [pdf]
BinaryLang (for Nim) has similar features[1]. I've written a very compact ELF parser with it[2]. Notice that the last struct has array elements that skip over content based on offsets specified in the header.

Exploring Object File Formats
Low-level programming is one of my favourite subjects. I've written a simple ELF parser in Nim (with the help of an amazing binary parsing library) among other things: https://github.com/khaledh/elfdump

Exploring Object File Formats
Always quality content in that blog. We used MaskRay's article[1] on stack unwinding to improve our debuginfo (DWARF) support[2] in the past. If someone wants to have a more hands-on approach to executable file formats, e.g., XCOFF or GOFF, they can check Rizin's ideas for new formats[3] to support.

Xbox360 –> Windows Executable Converter
There is a demand for XEX[1] file support in Rizin/Cutter, by the way, to simplify the reverse engineering workflow.
