Didn't notice that Guido van Rossum was the author until I got to the end. As someone who has done work with the Python grammar, and watched it grow into the complex mess that the Python 3.8 grammar is, I'm glad to hear that Guido is exploring PEG parsers as an alternative to LL(1).

I'm surprised you missed the fact after reading this in the first paragraph - `...I now think it’s an interesting alternative to the home-grown parser generator that I developed 30 years ago when I started working on Python.`
