Which Parsing Approach?
I like the way the various approaches are presented here, though the author briefly mentions a factor which I feel like really short circuits the entire discussion: error messages. Most people readily agree that recursive descent parsers can provide the best possible error messages, which if you're writing a compiler in 2020 seems like it trumps all other considerations (especially considering you can <i>also</i> get the best possible performance via recursive descent).<p>The static typing of LR is nice, but trading off user experience for developer experience seems like a bad deal.
