Ven ah, no, I meant to be sarcastic there.. 09:34
masak aha. I considered that a possibility, but a <5% one. 09:38
you need to make your comments more Poe's Law-resilient ;) 09:39
Ven`` I thought talking positively about C parsers was enough resilience :P. 09:41
masak not to me, I'm relentlessly language-positive :D 09:57
Ven`` then you need more reading of the Perl 5 and Ruby C parsers :-). 09:58
masak I need to read more source code in general. I like it when I actually do. 10:02
but I am well aware that parsers in the real world make compromises, sometimes horribly so
the parser in cpython looked unusually sane to me -- which is kind of what I would expect of anything Python 10:03
Ven`` I've seen a few too-nested switches, but otherwise, yes, compared to Ruby's, or the worse of them all, Perl, it seemed sane. 10:18
masak but, I mean, anything in C is bound to disappoint if your expectation is on the level of Parsec or Perl 6's grammars 10:19
Ven`` well I've seen really nice C parsers, and I've seen some worse. 10:20
Even yacc-based.
.oO( i've even written some offenders )
