I love how my browser asks me if I'd like to translate this page... and then proceeds to rewrite the text in Vietnamese.

I've been reading this cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/monparsing.pdf it's quite interesting but it's a tad difficult for me to follow. The only language I know a little of which is even remotely similar is F#

I'll read up on that though

I'm looking for something to target JavaScript, TypeScript, or C++ preferably.

Mhm?

I know less than nothing about haskell, but I'd love to apply the concept. Is there a generalized name for such a construct?

maybe I should come up with a way to specify supported operators and their precedence and generate a PEG from those

Perhaps a language for that is overkill though

I'm trying to either find or come up with a superset of syntax for a parser expression grammar that allows you to do dynamic grammars. Does such a thing exist? An example usage would be writing a high-level grammar that parses a string and the result can either return an expression tree or throw based on whether some way of providing valid operators, their respective operator precedence, and their implementations allows the initial string to parse or not.

Just adding my two cents, I think it's beneficial to vote for someone who has a solid track record of coming online consistently for a long time.

I voted for all the candidates (but I'm not saying which order). I took my duty seriously though, did my research, yada yada.

I mean this genuinely, I think all the candidates still running are respectable and qualified, and I look forward to seeing them make PPCG great again! ™

@DJMcMayhem based on my experience you would receive sympathy but little to no actual help if you reported it.

@Dennis Ohh.. I didn't realize there were two separate answers. All I see are the questionnaire answers

I can see the deleted post but I don't see an external link in the edit history

tl;dr it's not network-wide, PPCG and crypto are just that special

@SEJPM codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/q/14808/42091

I don't see the link you were talking about @Dennis

No, maybe he actually thought those were appropriate answers? It's not unlike the answers world politicians these days might give.

Man, I just saw the edit history for that deleted candidate, was he trolling?

Just make absolute sure it works before you re-ping or I'm gonna flip a table

This happened before?

If you can produce a running example, then post it and remove the non-competing tag

Pretty sure this is my new best answer, my fingers are crossed it will stay the winner: codegolf.stackexchange.com/a/146778/42091

@Downgoat I came across your babel plugin recently, and I like the idea. Have you considered adding support for inlining functions, if their definitions are available in the AST at compile-time?

codegolf.meta.stackexchange.com/a/14074/42091 Here's the proposal I made

Hey I have a question, if I post a suggestion on the sandbox that's well-received, is it possible for me to request that someone else actually write the challenge? I don't care that they would get the rep, but I have an awesome and elaborate idea and I don't feel that I have the personal time that would do it justice.

Stack Overflow recently taught me that there are two types of technology: The kind that people complain about, and the kind that no one uses. Seeing arguments like this makes me believe clichéd claims like that.

Why are we capitalizing "REAL"?

@ATaco what are you smoking? Can I have some?

oh, I don't know Python, so.

Couldn't you just do smth like [stack[-1], stack[-2]] = [stack[-2], stack[-1]]?

oh, derp.

What is a Terms of Service lambda?

A Taco's Epiphany, brought to you by Late-Night Hacking.

I agree, that's a poor naming convention

@ASCII-only because tacos

I dare you to find any version of the Node.js docs that support that claim, because it's BS

@ATaco TF are you talking about :|

@ATaco that second argument doesn't even make sense. The Sync methods don't require a callback, you'd normally put an options object or an encoding there.

LOL who cares about PEP in Code Golf?

God, no wonder Code Review hates us

github.com/patrickroberts/complex-js/blob/… I shudder just looking at how I used to code

Lemme show you what my old compiler looked like before I discovered peg.js. Now THAT was a mess

Actually I take it back, that is a compiler, not just a parser.

At least it's an organized wall of text :|

Here's what my parser for complex math expressions looks like

That's still kinda cool

Charcoal has support for Wolfram language? o.o

pegjs.org/online I used this library to rewrite the compiler for my complex math library
