I don't think this is bad, if you know Python then most of the code will be fine for you. I think you're probably referring to pm_reduce_collapse , but while it looks daunting at first, it really isn't when you consider the

I have written parsers using parser combinators in Haskell and Clojure. I find that ML-like (Haskell, OCaml, StandardML) languages generally are great at writing parsers, even hand-written ones in it is a superior experience. In this case,

Assuming that's what he meant, why would it be considered baseline versus anything else? I am genuinely curious because I'd like to know more about issues people face with this or that vector store in general.
