Description
It says in https://railsatscale.com/2023-08-29-ruby-outperforms-c/
An interesting feature of Racc is that it actually ships with a pure Ruby implementation of the parser runtime.
But I don't see documentation about how to choose to use the pure ruby variant of racc instead of the c-extension version, could that be added somewhere?
