Well I just wanna ask you,
If you seen that gal of mine,
Don’t the clouds look lonesome shining across the sea,

— Bob Dylan, Rocks & Gravel
Combinator Parsers: From Toys to Tools, by Doaitse Swierstra. “We develop, in a stepwise fashion, a set of parser combinators for constructing deterministic, error-correcting parsers. The only restriction on the grammar is that it is not left recursive. Extensive use is made of lazy evaluation, and the parsers constructed “analyze themselves”. Our new combinators may be used for the construction of large parsers to be used in compilers in practical use.” Must read before implementing any parsing combinators.

I never meant to cause you any pain

I only want to see you bathing in the purple rain
— Prince, Purple Rain
