Emacs Lisp Hacking Night: Parsers! (Hybrid)
Details
Hi folks, let's do a classic this time: parsers! We use them to accomplish a lot of different tasks in Emacs, which is no surprise for a text editor. Some potential topics:
- tree-sitter (naturally)
- peg.el, a way to define and use Parsing Expression Grammars
- the builtin thing-at-point framework and its customizations
- The connection between parsing and fontification in major modes
- syntax tables
- maybe even good old parse-partial-sexp
As usual our content is crowdsourced, so bring your short demos, talks, ideas, etc. to share.
This event will again feature remote participation via Big Blue Button. The link is https://bbb.emacsverse.org/b/mic-4uy-qlr-iwf
For IRL attendees, no food is provided but you are welcome to bring some. We will need to clean up after ourselves, though.
Hope to see you there!
