feedbacks about the direction it should take:

1. It takes the PartialStatement as an example and doesn't throw when a Handlebars partial is > found, and the resulting AST template simply doesn't contain the node.
2. The next step would be to build some kind of error node that would have a representation in > the resulting AST template.
3. Using a new class field for the Parser seemed cleaner and less intrusive to me than trying to implement it as parse function's argument.

I think we should only focus on # 2 here. As a parser, we don't really want to have varying APIs as we churn through version numbers (as we normally would in post-1.0 packages). This is slightly constrained by the VM still being pre 1.0 (and package-managers treating pre-1.0 semver differently 🫠 ), but also, fault tolerance is something all our parsing tools want:

• Glint
• Eslint
• Prettier

As when we can correctly parse and recover from errors we can provide more helpful information to the user to aid them in fixing their syntax errors.

For example, here is what tree-sitter does (error nodes):

(sorry for potato quality -- I need to see if quicktime has an option to not compress so hard (inefficiently, too!))

Even within an error node, it tries to recover immediately, which also keeps syntax highlighting nice, but this also has the benefit of allowing in-progress intellisense, such as this more realistic example:

I think we should only focus on #2 here.

I started to work on the Error node thing. I hope I can post one more commit tomorrow, and you'll tell me if I am doing this right or wrong. Thanks for the first answer and recordings 👍

Here is the result template I have so far for the "continue parsing after an error" test:

Please let me know your thought about the code and what you think is missing to get this PR ready. I would prefer to have a first approval about the approach ahead of implementing it for the other invalid syntaxes (and I am a bit in discovery mode here, I don't have personal opinions to defend).

yea, for partials, that's that a very nice output!
