I just noticed this article on Perl.com about Marpa.

Sigh. How's a guy going to brag when you beat him to it??

I thought the article was magnificent. Especially the lexing vs.
parsing thing. I'd been thinking of trying to address it on my blog.
But I suspected any attempt I made would misfire, so I'm relieved that
somebody else took the subject on. Much of the profession believes that
parsing and lexing are the same thing or essentially so. This leaves
them without a word in their vocabulary that describes the problem that
Marpa solves.

Thanx for the compliment.

Ron, sorry about that.

I wasn't quite sure at first who wrote the article, but it's amazing.
I need to find out how these techniques will work for my parsers. I
still haven't got that right.

No need to apologize. I was joking, I assure you.

Yes, confusing at first. And thanx.
