The distinction between left- and right-recursive becomes important when trying to parse/analyse a sentence; some types of parser work best with left-recursive grammars, while other types work best with right-recursive grammars. This distinction is particularly relevant in connection with [[compiler|compiling or translating]] a program written in some high-level [[programming language]] so that it can be used on a [[computer]].
