Sunday Lightning Talks
summary
A new LR parsing implementation claims nearly twice as fast parsing versus pyparsing, compiles grammars to LR(1) productions, comes with 10k words of Sphinx docs and a working SQL-like parser that passed 2600 sqlite3 statements; the author also built a small Lure→Python compiler to prove it can be a compiler. A separate lightning segment argues engineers’ social responsibility, points to Random Hacks of Kindness and scientific tooling (pandas, IPython) as routes for impact, and asks for community volunteers for civic projects.
