| 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 ) |
