True. But let's get terminology straight: that's not a compiler science, that's parsing science. And it's no more compiler science than parsing a natural language is.
What terminology are you talking about? Neither "compiler science" nor "parsing science" are terms I used, or that the industry or academia use.
Parsing - formal theory like taxonomies of grammars, and practical concerns like speed and error recovery - remain a core part of compiler design both inside and outside of academia.
