<contificate> Nystrom is describing a Pratt parser in his book (for expressions, that is). He embellishes the idea, the core idea is very simple - as presented by Pratt himself
<companion_cube>
like it or not, his writing seems widely appreciated :)

<yawaramin> if anyone can point me to a simpler explanation of the idea, that would be great
<discocaml>
<yawaramin> i'm not married to this one

<Jay> Hi everyone! Is there a way to try MacoCaml (experimental meta programming for OCaml)?

<contificate> @companion_cube I think his book is a good start for a certain class of beginner
<discocaml>
<contificate> He just embellishes the Pratt parsing concept with OOP-inspired software engineering idioms - which can cloud the core concept. He also was rather dismissive of Pratt's paper, going as far as to blog about it and misrecall the names of concepts from it (refers to null denotation as "null denominator")
<discocaml>
<contificate> @yawaramin I have a really bad video on YouTube about Pratt parsing - it's done in imperative style OCaml. I apparently speak very fast so it's perhaps not the highest quality resource. That said, I think the presentation is faithful to Pratt's paper
<discocaml>
<CCCube> Matklad has a blog post about it too iirc
<discocaml>
<contificate> his article is pretty decent - I think I reverse engineered a Python program to learn it, then just read Pratt's paper

<Anarchos>
do you talk about the knuth-morris-pratt algorithm ?

<contificate> no, we're talking about Pratt's algorithm for parsing expressions ("top down operator precedence parsing")
