dabrahams / Memo.swift
Created July 28, 2023 21:33
Mock-up of program transformation with value semantics and memoization
// This file demonstrates how memoization might work in the transformation of a `ScopedProgram` into
// a `TypedProgram`, which additionally represents type information.
public struct TypedProgram {
/// The prior representation of the program, without analysis of types.
public let base: ScopedProgram
/// A type.
public struct Type_: Hashable {

Example that would be better if we could create a mixin with additional stored members

Last active May 20, 2022 20:16
Quick/Dirty Chart Parser.
/// A simple bottom-up chart parser.
///
/// - The chart is a lookup table of sets of partial parses (a.k.a. dotted
/// rules), indexed by (predicted-symbol, source-location) pairs.
///
/// - A partial parse is a triple (B, R, N) where:
/// - B is the position in the token stream where the partially-parsed input begins.
/// - R is the partially-recognized BNF rule.
/// - N is the number of RHS symbols of R that have been recognized.

dabrahams / KeynoteTextNotes.md
Created December 13, 2021 02:09
Notes on how Keynote lays out text boxes, and translating that into CSS

Line spacing

In keynote, line spacing is specified per-paragraph. Paragraphs are line-wrapped into physical lines.

For now, we're only interested in text boxes where spacing is specified in “lines.”

For a physical line β and a character γ:
