Parser Hacking [01]: Setting up our Recursive Descent Parser Boilerplate | Parsing Int and String

This is just the beginning! In this video we set up some very basic boilerplate and teach our parser how to scan through the tokens recognizing integers and strings.

About the Project: Natalie is a very early-stage work-in-progress Ruby implementation that compiles Ruby to an executable. It does so by transpiling Ruby to C++ and feeding it to gcc or clang to produce a binary.
