    I offer, again, my JetBrains GrammarKit counterpoint from the last time that assertion came up <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38192427>

    >>>

    I consider the JetBrains parsing system to be world class and they seem to hand-write very few (instead building on this system: https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit#readme )

    - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23... (the parser I'll concede, as they do seem to be hand-rolling that part)

    - https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/blob/idea/23... (same for its parser)

  • Nelua, AOT statically typed Lua
    15 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Jan 2023
    I want to start adding support for Lua derivatives to my IDE (which adds static type checking to Lua - inference, structural & nominal types, generics etc. (Luanalysis - https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/IntelliJ-Luanalysis/)

    I feel like plugin support would be best but I've no idea how that's supposed to work in the presence of a predefined grammar. There's also so many variants I don't think there's a good way to build composite grammar.

    Does anyone have any ideas about how to extend language parsing? For reference, I'm using https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit.

    10 projects | dev.to | 26 Apr 2022
    In IDEA, code generation by the GrammarKit plugin is mainly used to create a parser. Unfortunately, there is not much documentation about it and it is only presented in Tutorial and HOWTO.

    Luanalysis is built atop https://github.com/JetBrains/Grammar-Kit, so can't eaisly be integrated in other languages servers.
