I would like to know the name of that paper if anyone knows.

I believe he was talking about Pratt parsing in the video.

Top Down Operator Precedence - Vaughan R. Pratt - https://tdop.github.io/

What he called "priority" is called "binding power" in the paper.

I like Jonathan Blow and all, but he should be careful with trashing academic parsing theory if he thinks that Pratt parsing was only discovered "in the last few years".

It sounds a lot like Pratt parsing, or at least the way I usually implement it. But I don't what paper he is referring to.
