I'm a long time enthusiastic user of Julia and enjoy contributing to various packages across the open source ecosystem, Julia standard libraries and compiler. I love hearing about people's fascinating technical computing adventures of all types! Find me at https://github.com/c42f or as Chris Foster/c42f on the julialang Zulip, slack or discourse.
Session
JuliaSyntax.jl is a new Julia language frontend designed for precise error reporting, speed and flexibility. In this talk we'll tour the JuliaSyntax parser implementation and tree data structures, highlighting benefits for users and tool builders. We'll discuss how to losslessly map Julia source text for character-precise error reporting and how a "parse stream" abstraction cleanly separates the parser from syntax tree creation while being 10x faster than Julia's reference parser.
