Not pleased with our console on the work project, so I spent some time hacking on a language parser framework that lets me quickly respecify and reconfigure the grammar, and inspect the state at parse failure so I can do completion and whatnot, and...
Language stuff is fun. May have to implement these ideas in something other than Objective-C for wider distribution. Gonna have to move at least some of it over to JavaScript for UI reasons...

I'm often reaching for custom parsers, grammars, compilers, and VMs to solve problems now, but...
I get held back from going really nuts because of things like auto-complete, refactoring tools, etc... when
actually writing in the language. Which then seems like I need to be writing an editor and the associated
tooling but now that's really, really nuts...
I know there're things like LSP but looks like that's only a small part of the problem.
Anyone know anything about that part of it?

Am I the only one who still uses a text editor for programming?

Nope. A whole lot of this coding is being done in Emacs, because I use the shit out of Emacs.
But this work is being done to support a console interaction mode for our system, because command lines are awesome.

80% of my time is in emacs because Xcode is just so terrible
