  Project mention: Tbsp – treesitter-based source processing language | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-01

  The md-to-html demo is a good one, but worth mentioning that the Markdown parser[1] being used may not be suitable for more complex documents. From the README:

  > "...it is not recommended to use this parser where correctness is important. The main goal for this parser is to provide syntactical information for syntax highlighting..."

  There's also a separate block-level and inline parser, not sure how `tbsp` handles nested or multi-stage parsing.

  Project mention: A glimpse into the universe where Windows died with the 1980s | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12

  There are languages with perfectly clean grammars which can't be parsed by yacc because they aren't LALR(1).

  I agree that a command processor should have a grammar that can be expressed in a well-known formalism, and its parser generated by a parser generator.

  I agree that both POSIX shell and CMD.EXE are flawed because that isn't true.

  What I'm disagreeing with, is that it is important that the grammar formalism be LALR(1) in particular, and that the parser generator be yacc in particular.

  Suppose I have a Packrat parser generator. [0] And my command processor has a nice clean PEG grammar. And I use the Packrat parser generator to generate the parser of my command processor. That grammar quite possibly isn't LALR(1), and hence yacc in particular won't be able to generate a parser for it. But what's the problem with that? If it is a problem at all, it is a very different problem than the problem that CMD.EXE and POSIX shell have

  zsv+lib: tabular data swiss-army knife CLI + world's fastest (simd) CSV parser

  Project mention: How fast can you parse a CSV file in C#? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-10-27

  Haven't yet seen any of these beat https://github.com/liquidaty/zsv when real-world constraints are applied (e.g. we no longer assume that line ends are always \n, or that there are no dbl-quote chars, embedded commas/newlines/dbl-quotes). And maybe under the artificial conditions as well.
