"Tree-sitter - a new parsing system for programming tools" by Max Brunsfeld
Strange Loop Conference
Max Brunsfeld introduces Tree-sitter, a parsing system for developer tools that offers incremental parsing and robust error recovery through a uniform C API. The talk explains the design, based on LR extended to GLR parsing.
HN points to it as the best explanation of tree-sitter's design choices and as an accessible introduction to parser generators.
