My introduction was Stephen Diehl's Write you a Haskell. He introduces monadic parsers by implementing one. I believe that is the best way to go about it, whatever language you might do it in.
Actually if you look up the wikipedia, parser combinators have been around in different guises since 1989. Monadic parser combinators is what is innovatively at the heart of the “decent walkthrough.”
I suppose I did understate it a bit, and I wasn't trying to downplay the achievements of Hutton/Meijer. I think it is a really good introduction which doesn't assume much on the part of the reader.
Indeed. I desire that the haskell community, far from comprising mere programmers of said language, refer to a group of people which upholds the values—felicitous communication being at the core—that gave birth to the language.
Haskell was designed by a committee of divergently opinionated, nervy individuals that possessed the vanishing skills of disagreeing without being disagreeable and so converged on a result.
As for today?
A group spirals into a dissipation of wasted life force every second.

I didn't think that you were downplaying the authors achievements. It felt more like describing the gospels as a "decent walkthrough" of christianity. I was tickled silly.
Does anyone one know good article introducing monadic parsing preferably in context of Scala?

Even though it is Haskell, the "NanoParsec" is pretty simple, so I believe it is a good starting point.
After that, maybe reading the source code for an existing monadic parser library (at least I enjoy learning by reading code, your mileage may vary).
This paper does a decent walkthrough as well, but you would also need to translate from the Haskell http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~pszgmh/pearl.pdf
That “decent walkthrough” was the paper that launched monadic parsing 22 years ago!

that's pretty pessimistic
I’m not saying every single group fails. I’m saying that I see more groups per capita per unit time failing today than in the past.
Groups form and then they break up, not unlike divorce rates going up.

Thanks a lot. It would really be nice though to have something more recent (not there is anything special about it more recent) with accent on Scala.

That is a pretty good ideal for a community!

I could go on about the skills needed to turn the community from an idea to reality.
@Kim-Ee Yeoh I would love to read it. Maybe make another thread?
