1 The project is in its early stages: contributions are welcome and
2 would be **very** helpful, but the project is not *yet* optimized for
3 contributors. Moreover, it is doubly experimental, so there's no
4 guarantee that any work here would reach production. That said, here
5 are some arias where contributions would be **especially** welcome:
8 * Designing internal data structures: RFC only outlines the
9 constraints, it's an open question how to satisfy them in the
10 optimal way. See `ARCHITECTURE.md` for current design questions.
12 * Porting libsyntax parser to libsyntax2: currently libsyntax2 parses
13 only a tiny subset of Rust. This should be fixed by porting parsing
14 functions from libsyntax one by one.
16 * Writing validators: by design, libsyntax2 is very lax about the
17 input. For example, the lexer happily accepts unclosed strings. The
18 idea is that there should be a higher level visitor, which walks the
19 syntax tree after parsing and produces all the warnings. Alas,
20 there's no such visitor yet :( Would you like to write one? :)
22 * Creating tests: it would be tremendously helpful to read each of
23 libsyntax and libsyntax2 parser functions and crate a small separate
24 test cases to cover each and every edge case.
26 * Building stuff with libsyntax2: it would be really cool to compile
27 libsyntax2 to WASM and add *client side* syntax validation to rust
