       | What I love about parser combinators is that they are just code,
       | in your language. They are also highly composable.

       | What I hate about parser combinators is how easy it is to
       | accidental generate infinite loops or miss a crucial backtracking
       | point.

       | Are there any parser combinators libraries that avoid these
       | traps, particularly around recursion?

         | infinite descent. It fails early in that case.
