I love these quotes. I got a much deeper, more elegant understanding of the grammar of a human language as I wrote a phrase generator and parser for it. Writing and refactoring it gave me an understanding of how the grammar works. (And LLMs still confidently fail at really basic tasks I ask them for in this language.)
