I'm getting interested in parsers. I used to be able to write a parser in my sleep ten years ago, but I need to remind myself of what I learned in compilers and programming language concepts.
I'm not sure there is any real purpose to this, but I encountered a parser question on leetcode, and I got the urge to write a parser again. I actually HAVE encountered professional situations where I had to write a parser, and I was noticeably rusty. (Parsers come up for text based protocols like SIP and HTTP, common in networking.)
I need to refresh my memory on parsers. I might spend some time working on tools for parsing as well.
