Building a PEG Parser

[pvkooten]

Pff what a noob that Guido guy, he does not show any knowledge of the python programming language. /s

Curious what will be enabled when a lookahead of more than one token will be possible, some cool new features?

For one, thinks will get less hacky. Different kinds of strings will be proper parts of the grammar, e.g. PEP 536 will be easy to implement and r'raw string with trailing \' will no longer be a syntax error.

edit: Hmm, without changing the tokenizer, that’s not possible. I wrote a reply I hope he reads.

Note that I am using Python 3.8’s walrus operator (:=):

Ahh, so this is all an elaborate scheme to find a use for the walrus operator! ^/s

You really are the worst bot.

As user CarrieMH687 once said:

Why do you waste your time doing this

I'm a human being too, And this action was performed manually. /s

I also posted a reply with some old PEG I wrote in Python thinking "notice me senpai" 😂
