Three Dollar Quill

• Wednesday: I started messing with Earley parsers, just trying to get a handle on how they work.
• Thursday: I had some ideas about trying to simplify the presentation of the loops involved, but I didn't have the code in a state where I could actually do it at that point. (It may be possible now.)
• Friday: I took a step back, wrote up the state of the code at the time, and wrote some helpful functions.
• Saturday: I just kind of relaxed.
• Sunday: I started to better understand the tutorial's explanation of how everything fit together, and I started cleaning up the code.
• Monday: I wrote up my major divergences from the tutorial code, and tried to restate the tutorial so I understood it better, with no expectation that this will make things clearer to anyone else.

Next week, I might change focus again. It'd be nice to get the Earley parser to a state where it can do approximately what the tutorial's parser does by the end.
