Been working on this a few months. It's inspired by previous generations of parser generators, and by my own previous work generating ast lexers from grammar files. This integrates seamlessly with the type system, allowing you to declare your syntax, extract only the data you want as variables, and evaluate them easily. And just from a simple description of your syntax, you'll get beautiful errors which visually point out structures in the input.
With this I have been able to implement a (mostly complete) JSON parser in just 12 lines of parsing logic, and a pmdas-respecting expression parser in just 6 (with one helper function to apply individual operators).
Examples available on the github repo, also now available on crates.io!
So what, I can write a parser in JavaScript in a single line
\s
Jokes aside, that does look neat and like a really clever solution that is very fammiliar right from the start!
Thank you! It's hopefully intuitive to anyone who knows regex or BNF already
