since while I know what both involve to a first approximation, not writing any large chunk of code in either implies not being used to the idiosyncrasies of either, and not being able to parse the language well in one's head (it took me a 40 minute train ride home to figure out to a first approximation what some of the code in here means).

I have been failing miserably, since while I know what both involve to a first approximation, not writing any large chunk of code in either implies not being used to the idiosyncrasies of either, and not being able to parse the language well in one's head (it took me a 40 minute train ride home to figure out to a first approximation what some of the code in here means).

Thanks and Regards

So I am going to try learning parser combinators in one of the languages (possibly Scala since it would gel with something I am doing with Itay), and then eventually convert what I learn in one into the other, and hope that works. Either ways from what little I read of parser combinators they seem like an interesting model for parsers, at least the scala implementation seems to be fairly nifty in terms of being literally readable as a grammar.

You can't go wrong with Haskell as a parser

Very interesting idea thanks for sharing it.

Nice article Thanks. I'm wondering if Scalas/Haskells parser combinators are sufficient for parsing a programming language. More specifically the language MiniJava. I'm currently reading compiller construction and jflex and java cup is quite painful to work with so I'm wondering if I could/should use parser combinators instead. The MiniJava syntax is very small.

Best Regards

You really had great insights, thanks a lot for sharing it with us, KUDOS on you!

It's not easy grasping Scala and Haskell.

Parsel combinations and Scala is really at the forefront in 2007.

I have been trying to get a better grasp of both languages for a while, and though I have been doing this for widely divergent reasons (Haskell - strong links to math, the cool factor, reading a decent paper on monads on the recommendation of a couple of people, and not knowing how to use it, Scala - lots of chatter about it coming my way from Itay.

Thanks and Regards

I surely what both involve to a first approximation, not writing any large chunk of code in either implies not being used to the idiosyncrasies of either, and not being able to parse the language well in one's head it took me a 40 minute train ride home to figure out to a first approximation what some of the code in here means for now:)

Thanks and Regards
