Parsers are everywhere. We interact with them every day, yet few of us know how
they work. Even fewer of us know how to write one themselves. The wide variety
of different algorithms (LR, LALR, LL, PEG, etc) doesn't really make things
easier either.

In this talk we'll explore various parsing algorithms to see how they work,
their performance characteristics, error handling and how to write one
ourselves.
