rue

It hasn't been touched in 3 months: https://github.com/rue-language/rue .

For future readers, please use this link: https://github.com/rue-language/rue/blob/b0867ccff77ee9957d6... I am going to be cleaning these up, as they don't necessarily represent things I actually want to do in this exact way. My idea was to dump some text and iterate on them, but I think that's actually not great given some other process changes I'm making, so I want to start fresh.

Not being able to store mutable ref in other type reduces expressiveness. The doc already mentions it cannot allow Iterator that doesn't consume container https://github.com/rue-language/rue/blob/trunk/docs/designs/... No silver bullet again

Thanks! So, one reason is "I just want to learn more about buck2." But, for the first iteration of Rue, I maintained both. However, for a language project, there's one reason Cargo isn't sufficient now, and one reason why it may not later: the first one is https://github.com/rue-language/rue/blob/trunk/crates/rue-co... : I need to make sure that, no matter what configuration I build the compiler in, I build a staticlib for the runtime. With Cargo, I couldn't figure out how to do this. In test mode, it would still try to build it as a dylib. Later, well, the reason that rustc has to layer a build system on top of Cargo: bootstrapping. I'm not sure if Rue will ever be bootstrapped, but rustc uses x.py for this. Buck does it a lot nicer, IMHO https://github.com/dtolnay/buck2-rustc-bootstrap

Probably best to link to the repo itself, this is not meant to be used yet. https://github.com/rue-language/rue
