I didn't really 'get' parser combinators until I watched the following introduction (showing how to build a parser library from scratch in F#): https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/9731-understanding-pars.... Highly recommended.

This is a great talk. I especially like his comment here [0] about obfuscated infix operators since he opens his talk with "hopefully this talk will get you over the confusion about what `.>>.` and company mean" and then 20 minutes later he just has the line `let ( .>>. ) = andThen`. That was easy.
