Then I discovered I wasn't entirely alone in this:
Implement a stack in SQL Server using stored procedures – SQLServerCentral[^]
Although I will be using temporary tables instead of external stored procedures.
It's weird enough driving simple finite automata from a database, but driving push-down automata from inside a database is a little insane.

You're crazy. I love it! 
But yes, a temptable and a row pointer variable is probably the right way to do it.
If you really need to.

|
|
Use the right tool for the right job.

|
|
That doesn't sound like fun at all.

I have created Turing Machines in T-SQL, but only to prove that it can be done, not for reals.
|
|
|
|
|
The primary reason I'm targeting T-SQL with a parser is to ensure that my code generation templates are flexible enough to be able to target most any language.

Keep at it I'm looking forward to the article.

Have you seen Reggie lately?
I wrote this Dismantling Reggie[^] which covers how Reggie works.
The thing is, Norm works the same way, but instead of FA state machines for lexers and matchers, it writes PDA state machines for parsers.
It's shockingly similar, so understanding how Reggie works will make understanding Norm par for the course.
As far as understanding the process of generating the parse tables that the code is generated from, I've covered that in several previous articles and I won't be covering it that much when I cover Norm, any more than I covered the workings of the regular expression engine when covering Reggie.
I'm just putting that out there FWIW, and so you know what to expect.

Anyone use this?
It appears to cripple front-end development time. To quote someone:
Quote:
Ngrx adds so much more code to the codebase and it makes things much more difficult to understand and work with.
And because of that, it becomes harder to analyze what the underlying code is doing.

|
|
Errrm, yes. I do. It's not really that hard to use.

It must be how it's being used then. Interesting. Thanks for the feedback.

One of the big problems with NGRX is that it appears to have a really bad debug story to it; the reality is, once you get your head around the fact that it has been designed to separate operations and state, debugging becomes a bit more intuitive. If you really want to see what's happening, I find this extension[^] to be invaluable.

Thanks! I passed that along to our front-end devs.

Isn't that what all code generators do?
|
|
|
|

Is that a web thing? Sound like a web thing if you ask me....

Someone learning to drive a stick shift?
That's what it sounds like...
