Why the first universal language for deterministic text analysis was never a matter of taste — and why it took a machine built out of statistics to finally prove the point.

NLP++ is parsed by an analyzer written in NLP++, and its knowledge lives in a Conceptual Grammar whose lineage runs back through 1995 C code to a DARPA system built on LISP machines in 1983. Here is how Amnon Meyers built it.

Version 3 has been the biggest chapter yet for the NLP++ extension for Visual Studio Code. What started as a way to compile and run analyzers has grown into a complete development environment for the NLP++ language — with the kind of code intelligence you’d expect from a first-class programming language. […]

For most of its life, the NLP++ engine has been a powerful tool for writing rule-based analyzers — explainable, glass-box, and deterministic natural-language processing you can actually read, debug, and reproduce exactly. It has run on Windows, Linux, and macOS for years. What Version 3 changes is how you build, […]
