> Everything in NLP nowadays involve ML.

Some really nice projects do NLP without using ML at all, for instance Duckling [1] (a library made by facebook to find entities in a text) works a 100% with parsing rules, and is surprisingly efficient.

I agree with your point though, most of the time there is ML at some point in your pipeline so you can't really avoid learning it !
