19:02 <mst> thoughts?
16:32 <ingy> my first thought is that SineSwiper is wrong in his assessment that parsing is better with lexing
16:32 <ingy> with a separate lexing step
16:33 <ingy> this is a majot problem with coffeescript
16:33 <ingy> which I am currently trying to fix
16:35 <ingy> I think SS thinks that RecDescent means that you parse too deeply and waste time, but that is a simply a matter of writing good grammars vs poor ones.
16:35 <ingy> My grammars are careful never to need much lookahead
16:36 <ingy> because I was thinking about that when I wrote them
16:36 <ingy> anyway, I think it's weird that he didn't talk to me about it
