It's -presented- in a very simple way. The list doesn't give any real insight or even a single code example. That's why they say it's too simple, and you say we know very little about it, and you're both right.

The problem is we don't have much in the ways of examples.

I'd say one of the few people in the world who has given grade-a examples is Rob Pike. That said I don't agree with him on much but I do very much respect his talent for simplicity. I'm directly referring to his Regex parser. It's amazing work although I'd much rather see him implement it live from scratch.

Something like the SICP lectures on youtube. It's amazing what they go over and do in that class and how they teach you about abstracting your problem domain.
