support generating rust and/or typescript? #33

Closed qzmfranklin closed 4 years ago

qzmfranklin commented 4 years ago

I saw a refactor/type-script branch which was [This branch is] 281 commits ahead, 223 commits behind master.

I want to compile the stuff in rust or typescript for browser-based applications.

How's the interest and bandwidth?

That branch had slightly different meaning and should probably removed by now. Sorry for confusion!

Rust backend would be a great addition, but I'm afraid that JavaScript (and incidentally) TypeScript output is significantly slower than C/bitcode due to absence of goto statement in JS. There is an undocumented generateJS: true option for compiler that you could give a try to and see if it works for you: https://github.com/nodejs/llparse/blob/master/src/compiler/index.ts#L42
