Idiots don't know how to parse...

WTF? The accepted answer is from someone who thinks recursive descent is "hard" and a ridiculously bloated parser-generator is "easy"? Pure bisonshit! Almost every real (and toy) compiler uses some variant of recursive-descent. Even GCC, which would probably be the biggest user of Bison, moved to recursive-descent years ago.

These aren't even programmers, these are Java-sipping codemonkeys who know next to nothing about how anything really works and can only parrow "reinventing the wheel" and other "enterprise best practices" bullshit.

you could be doing that in your recursive descent parser too, in an ad-hoc, verbose, and awkward manner.
You mean with a single extra parameter context[] for each rule? Yeah, so awkward.
