Demystifying Pratt Parsers (janiczek.cz)

Pratt parsers are one of the most beautiful ideas and were somewhat forgotten (mislaid?). This is a neat article and has great references but I think he missed Douglas Crockford's great blog post (https://www.crockford.com/javascript/tdop/tdop.html) about them from 2007. I think that it is somewhat responsible for them resurfacing.

Nice to see another good article and people talking about them and another example in a different language.
