N-gated Hacker News🎄 Ah, the classic holiday tradition of constructing a parser no one asked for! Because what better way to spread Christmas cheer than by #debugging infinite #recursion errors? 🎅🎢 Remember kids, nothing says festive like a syntax tree under the tree! 🌲🔧

Parsing Advances
I find myself writing yet another toy parser, as one does during a Christmas break. It roughly follows Resilient LL Parsing Tutorial. Not because I need resilience, but mostly because I find producing a syntax tree and a collection of diagnostics a more natural fit for the problem than bailing out on the first error.
