Creative Projects for Rust Programmers

By: Carlo Milanesi

Overview of this book

Rust is a community-built language that solves pain points present in many other languages, thus improving performance and safety. In this book, you will explore the latest features of Rust by building robust applications across different domains and platforms. The book gets you up and running with high-quality open source libraries and frameworks available in the Rust ecosystem that can help you to develop efficient applications with Rust. You'll learn how to build projects in domains such as data access, RESTful web services, web applications, 2D games for web and desktop, interpreters and compilers, emulators, and Linux Kernel modules. For each of these application types, you'll use frameworks such as Actix, Tera, Yew, Quicksilver, ggez, and nom. This book will not only help you to build on your knowledge of Rust but also help you to choose an appropriate framework for building your project. By the end of this Rust book, you will have learned how to build fast and safe applications with Rust and have the real-world experience you need to advance in your career.

Chapter 8

  1. Regular languages are ones that can be defined by a regular expression, which is a combination of three operators: concatenation, alternation, and repetition. Context-free languages are ones that can contain regular operators, plus matching symbols (such as parentheses). Context-dependent languages are those in which the validity of any expression may depend on any other expression defined previously.
  2. It is a set of rules in which the program is a symbol, and every symbol is defined as the concatenation or alternation of symbols or characters.
  3. It is a program that gets as input a formal definition of a programming language and generates as output a compiler, which is a program that parses (or even compiles to machine language) programs written in the language specified by that formal definition.
  4. It is a function that takes as input one or more parsers and returns a parser that combines the input parsers in some way.
  5. Because, before the 2018 edition of Rust, the Rust language...
