The black hole…
...my black hole...
I spent my birthday afternoon in a hospital waiting room. Not because I was sick, but because my mother-in-law was. While waiting, I kept staring at the hospital dashboard, trying to understand how the average waiting time for a particular urgency level could show two hours, when there was already some persons who have been […]
I’m back to using a Mac at work after almost four years on Windows. It’s a nice relief—though honestly, still not as good as running Linux. Anyway, while setting up the Mac, I stumbled on what I’m calling a bug (because it is one) in the mouse and touch-pad settings. Both panes in the Settings […]
In the last months, I’ve been hearing about Agentic-AI. The hype is enormous. I decided to delve deeper and understand what exactly Agentic-AI is and its relevance in today’s world. As a first try, I went to Wikipedia, and found a very clear definition of Agentic-AI: Thus, agentic AI is a program that uses AI […]
As stated previously, Part #5 of this tutorial provides a brief overview of using Tree-Sitter from C#. This post continues from Part #4 and will add a Domain Object Model to the parser. It will not include many details specific to Tree-Sitter, as it will be more of a restructuring of our Rust code. Nevertheless, […]
Linguamática is a scientific journal created 16 years ago (2009) by Xavier Gómez Guinovart, José João Almeida, and me. It is a joint venture between the University of Vigo and the University of Minho. Our main goal was to create a forum where we could discuss Natural Language Processing in the languages we were studying. […]
I will get back to Rust to investigate more Tree-Sitter features, like cursors. But for my job, I might need to use Tree-Sitter from C#. So, I decided to write a post on how to do that, this time, from Windows. In the future, maybe I can look into how to do that with dotnet […]
Continuing with Rust, in this part of the tutorial we will improve the grammar with support for a few new things. One will be the support of literals and regular expressions for terminal symbols, and the second will be the support for the Kleene closures. Grammar Literals The first changes we will perform are to […]
C is a nice programming language, I enjoy playing with. But we need to accept that, unless we use libraries, writing code from scratch takes a lot of time. With that in mind, and given that I am also trying to learn Rust, I decided to write this post, very similar to the second part […]
In the last part of this tutorial we prepared the parser for a simple BNF syntax. In this part we will create a simple C tool that converts this parser syntax into tree-sitter JavaScript syntax. After installing the library, as specified above or compiling from the source code, get into the folder we created in […]
As seen in previous posts, I’ve been using AntLR for my parsers. Nevertheless, I’ve been listening to discussions about the speed of Tree-Sitter parsers, and I decided to give it a try. While I learn how to use them, I will write a brief tutorial on the subject. Bear with me if you find any […]
