Topic: Parsers for REPLMaker


view this post on Zulip Kwaku Oskin (Jul 12 2021 at 12:13):

Well, ReplMaker.jl is so much fun! I am using for small interactive tools for web apps. But after playing with it for some time, I wonder, is there any good Julia packages for building grammar? Maybe it should have a different name, but really, to read an expression and somehow tokenize it, extract rules and finally build Julia AST.

I am currently doing it manually with regexps and some tricks, but I think there should be something better.

My knowledge in this area is very limited, but I've seen things like https://github.com/orangeduck/mpc. It looks like this approach can be reproduced in Julia as well.

I’m not too knowledgeable about parsers, but maybe look into https://github.com/andrewcooke/ParserCombinator.jl I hear this approach is really powerful
