| Cool, that's an interesting way to apply parser combinators.

| This post links to a video where at least one presenter (the one

| it's natural conversation or, say, a lecture which _is_ prepared
| but where no verbatim script exists. A word of advice (at least
| if you 're trying to maximize your reach*): don't do this.
|
| I listen to at least one podcast where the host does this, too,
| and it's tolerable for an occasional listen but extremely
| grating. I can only imagine that this happens because no one has
| ever told them "don't do this; it is extremely grating", so they
| think it really is achieving some sort of polished, Ira Glass/NPR
| effect. It doesn't, and I imagine further that for lots of people
| it's actually intolerable instead of being merely ineffective,
| which means those listeners opt out instead. (Even in the case of
| the podcast I mentioned, I'm less motivated to seek out that
| show, so I end up listening to far fewer episodes than
| otherwise.)

| * this looks like a free episode in a for-pay series, so it seems
| reasonable to assume that this applies here
|
| PS: The project that is the focus of this presentation (swift-
| parser) is not linked anywhere. The yowconference.com link for
| "Unified Parsing and Printing with Prisms" is broken. The link
| for the code sample on GitHub is also broken.

| real take without the script?

| That wasn't the case before, just as it wasn't the case that
| the broken-but-now-fixed links were fixed.

|
| Not really relevant to what I wrote.
