+ This talk will describe a non-traditional functional approach to the + classical problems of lexing (breaking a stream of characters into + "words" or tokens) and parsing (identifying tree structure in a stream + of tokens based on a grammar, e.g. for a programming language that + needs to be compiled or interpreted). The functional approach can + clarify and organize a number of algorithms that tend to be opaque in + their conventional imperative presentation. No prior background in + functional programming, lexing, or parsing is assumed. +
+The slides for this talk can be found here as a pdf. +
