| | I usually write parsers by starting from a grammar and either coding a lexer/parser by hand or relying on tools such as the fantastic Antlr. However, a friend recently introduced me to parser combinators, which I found to be very interesting and useful. It's not a recent idea, but it was new to me, and I have found it to be very interesting and useful.

| | This is the story of how I solved a problem (ugly, cumbersome boilerplate code) that I ran into while writing a program in a functional language (Elixir). Functional programming languages often pride themselves on expressiveness and elegance; but occasionally they are not amenable to the most obvious solutions to the problems we wish to solve. In this case, the simplest solution to my problem would have been to have a global mutable variable. But no one likes those.
