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

• pest

  43 4,577 6.5 Rust

  The Elegant Parser (by pest-parser)

  

  I second pest.rs. Using it is fairly intuitive and there's also a live playground on their website which is great for quickly developing and testing your AST (abstract syntax tree) parser for whatever language you're implementing.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Purpose built for real-time analytics at any scale. InfluxDB Platform is powered by columnar analytics, optimized for cost-efficient storage, and built with open data standards.

  

• egg

  25 1,329 6.7 Rust

  egg is a flexible, high-performance e-graph library (by egraphs-good)

  

  For semantic analyzers, check out egg and egglog. They're custom data structures for representing compiler rewrite rules in a non-destructive way.

• egglog

  4 408 9.3 Rust

  egraphs + datalog!

  

  For semantic analyzers, check out egg and egglog. They're custom data structures for representing compiler rewrite rules in a non-destructive way.

• nom

  85 9,324 8.0 Rust

  Rust parser combinator framework

  

  As much as I love nom as well as other parser combinator libraries, regex-based parsers, BNF/EBNF-based parsers, etc. I always end up going back to plain old text-based char-by-char scanners.

• lalrpop

  25 3,000 8.1 Rust

  LR(1) parser generator for Rust

• hyperscript

  25 2,626 0.0 HTML

  Create HyperText with JavaScript.

  

  In fairness, there's a lot of overlap between embedded DSLs and libraries — a library like Hyperscript for generating HTML in JavaScript is in many ways a DSL, but it's also just a bunch of functions that are easy to put together in a particular way. But this is often good enough!
