Our featured tech talk for this event:
Why is 2 + 2 = 4 in a programming language? With parsers! Parsers are one of the basic components of programming languages. In this presentation, we will show a hand-crafted, self-contained simple expressions parser, implemented using a recursive descent parser in about 150 lines of code.
