What Hacker News says?

  1. ANTLR4 automatically generates a visitor for your grammar that you can use to translate into your own idiomatic objects: http://jakubdziworski.github.io/java/2016/04/01/antlr_visito... We use this in Presto for parsing SQL and generating an immutable AST: https://github.com/prestodb/presto/blob/master/presto-parser... https://github.com/prestodb/presto/blob/master/presto-parser...
