  • Earley

    Parsing all context-free grammars using Earley's algorithm in Haskell.

    • It is not nearly as annoying to left-factor parser combinators than it is to left factor CFGs, you just need to use appropriate combinators like chainl and chainr. And you'd want to abstract over common patterns in your CFG anyway, that is a strength of parser combinators! Compare this Earley example and my parser combinator example below.

  • ghc

    Mirror of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler. Please submit issues and patches to GHC's Gitlab instance (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc). First time contributors are encouraged to get started with the newcomers info (https://gitlab.haskell.org/ghc/ghc/wikis/contributing).

    • The GHC runtime system including its core interpreter loop and garbage collector are written in C.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
