What is the state of the art for creating domain-specific languages (DSLs) with Rust?

Letlang — Roadblocks and how to overcome them - My programming language targeting Rust
Rust is a very nice langage for implementing compilers, and has a nice ecosystem for it (logos, rust-peg, lalrpop, astmaker -- this one is mine --, etc...).

loxcraft: a compiler, language server, and online playground for the Lox programming language
rust-langdev has a lot of libraries for building compilers in Rust. Perhaps you could use these to make your implementation easier, and revisit it later if you want to build things from scratch. I'd suggest logos for lexing, LALRPOP / chumsky for parsing, and rust-gc for garbage collection.

Question about lexer and parser generators in Rust
Hi! For one of my projects I am currently using lalrpop (https://github.com/lalrpop/lalrpop/tree/master/doc/calculator/src), which is far from complete, but has the basic syntax I was looking for. I took some examples and worked around some lexer stuff but I’m currently happy with it. If you use it and have Intellij stuff installed, you can also use a plug-in for highlighting and SOMETIMES error checking. Otherwise, even VSCode had a great plug-in for highlighting!

Contrext-free language parsing with procedural macros
How would you compare and contrast this with, say, lalrpop?

Tools for creating a programming language in rust
lalrpop is great. It's a completely different approach from nom, but for parsing a programming language, I would at least consider it. RustPython uses it.

Best languages to design a new language in?
I presume LALRPOP handles left recursion just fine.

Show HN: IQ” – jq for images (using rust, LALRPOP)
I wanted to share an experimental side project I have been working on for some time. I constantly use commands like `jq` and `yq` for processing structured data in my day job and I was curious if a similar idea could be applied to images.
Another goal of mine was to get some exposure to with rust. I discovered the LALRPOP parser generator which really helped moved the project along (https://github.com/lalrpop/lalrpop)

Writing a new programming language. Part II: Variables and expressions
The key point here is that we are going to depend on the lalrpop library to generate the parser based on the formal grammar we define. Note that we have it as part of the [build-dependencies] section and we only depend on a tiny utility crate called lalrpop-util at runtime. The reason for that is the main lalrpop "magic" would happen during the crate compilation (in the build.rs file) when lalrpop would generate the deterministic pushdown automaton based on our grammar. The code generation logic is not required to be part of our interpreter, we only need a few utility methods from the lalrpop-util for the automaton to operate. You might have noticed that we also enable the lexer feature of lalrpop, because we are going to use lexer provided by lalrpop as well (please refer to the Part I if you do not know what the lexer is).

What backwards-incompatible changes would you make in a hypothetical Rust 2.0?
If you want some prior work on this, I've implemented effect-objects-as-return-values in my own language Tao, using uniqueness types. There's still work to be done, but I think it's sufficient as a proof of concept that this approach is viable without type soup.

-
What are Rust’s biggest weaknesses?
I've personally found through my experiments working on my language Tao that having effects be a property of the return value and not the function itself is very useful and opens up a lot of doors, like iterators that generate effectful values and more precise control over when side effects occur and in what context.

Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here! (29/2022)!
If you’d like to see some examples of great error messages written by a language with a parser combinator, I recommend you check out tao, which is parsed via chumsky, and provides rust-like error messages with the help of ariadne! I have been fiddling with writing my own language for a while now, and after trying out the alternatives, I found Chumsky to be great to work with, and can not recommend it enough. There are also great examples that you can find in the repo as well!

Write your own programming language in an hour with Chumsky
I've been developing both throughout the development of Tao, my own hobby language. It's since developed quite an extensive syntax (see here for an example: https://github.com/zesterer/tao/blob/master/examples/99.tao), so you can count it as evidence that chumsky scales to complex grammars: https://github.com/zesterer/tao
