&gt; <i>Meeting these constraints typically involves creative use of parser generators like Bison or requires the developer to create a parser from scratch - Which unfortunately many modern languages like Rust itself have had to end up doing</i><p>This seems like a very useful project for people writing IDEs, but I&#x27;m not sure the convenience features are enough to offset the simplicity and flexibility of writing your on parser.

I&#x27;ll praise the day something similar becomes a part of the Rust language itself.<p>Or of Zig, or whatever systems language. Come to think of it, Zig could be the better language to take advantage of this.
