Welcome back!

Join us for an exciting session where we delve into the world of rapid code generation using F# parsers and explore the power of string interpolation with SQL and other examples.

Traditionally, (lex/yacc) parsers were the domain of compiler writers, but with the advent of functional programming languages, these tools have become accessible for source-code generation by developers of all levels.

Our speaker, **Stephen Channell**, will share a fascinating backstory from 30 years ago, involving a proposal for a SQL interpreter at IBM. What was once considered a major project was accomplished in just a couple of weeks using F#. The intuitive nature of [FSYaccLex](https://fsprojects.github.io/FsLexYacc/), combined with the strengths of F#, made it a superior choice over C.

This session will be particularly interesting for those in the community who are keen on parsing domain-specific languages (DSLs) using FSLexYacc, processing abstract syntax trees (ASTs), and generating code where F# truly excels.

[TotallyMoney](https://www.totallymoney.com/) is kindly sponsoring the meet-up and will be providing pizza and drinks.

After the talk you can join us for a beer at [The Artillery Arms](https://maps.app.goo.gl/7XgRHqV9ESAg6R3G6)
