You could have invented Parser Combinators

I work in industry and I recently had to implement a special purpose templating language for our product. For various reasons none of the off the shelf ones quite did what we needed.

As a result I had to write a parser and interpreter. The thing about a lot of these computer science things is that you don't need them until you do. And then when you do it's nice to know about how they work.

Can anyone recommend an article for interpreters that is exactly at the level of the original link?

I guess http://norvig.com/lispy.html would be about right.
