What do you mean by incremental?

I recently hand-wrote my own parser so I could achieve some these results. Having used parser generators in the past, I realize now that hand writing a parser is SO much more flexible.




Lots of these parsers figure out what changed and only reparse the difference. This is pretty important if the parser is powering a language server, as reparsing needs to happen while the user is typing, so that autocomplete and other features work.
