On “Ask HN: Best Talks of 2019?”

+1 for both talks Saša Jurić is fantastic at condensing lots of information in a 1 hour talk without losing the audience, he gave another great talk this year called Parsing from first principles ( link to this video ).

On “Parser Combinators in Elixir”

This is a good article. Especially in that it talks a little bit about error handling which does not feel like a strength of NimbleParsec. Another good resource is this talk by Saša Jurić on Parsing from First Principles ( link to this video ) where he talks about parser combinators and live-codes a simple Elixir PC library. That inspired me to build my own alternative to NimbleParsec . Partly because my use case makes error handling very important and I couldn't get a grip on how to do that with NP and partly as a decent problem to get to grips with Elixir. I'm currently figuring out lookahead. This is a great area to play in that has a lot of useful applications.

On “Create a parser in Elixir without libraries”

This is a very good talk of writing parser combinators from scratch. That’s basically what the NimbleParsec library does for you. link to this video

Good post. In case anyone wants to know how too build a primitive combinatorial parser from scratch, this video helped me a lot. Saša Jurić - Parsing from first principles - WebCamp Zagreb 2019
