Laurence Tratt: Structured Editing and Incremental Parsing
As someone who has from time to time written on parsing, and even published some parsing research, I get asked questions about parsing fairly regularly, some of which I’m even capable of answering.
Hasnain says:
“However, it is now clear to me that there is ongoing work on structured editing which either doesn’t know about incremental parsing in general, or Tim’s algorithms specifically. I hope this post serves as a useful advert to such folk that incremental parsing exists, and Tim’s and Lukas’s theses specifically, are absolutely worth the investment of time in reading.
I would love to see more progress in this area, and the more that those working on it know the breadth of our existing knowledge, the more likely we are to make meaningful progress. I hope to see more such progress soon!”
