Show HN: Learning Rust by writing a Markdown to HTML compiler
TL;DR
A new Rust developer created a Markdown to HTML compiler as a practical project to learn the language. This initiative resulted in both a micro-blog and a functional compiler.
✦ Why It Matters
Start a small project in Rust to enhance your programming skills and understanding of the language.
Key Takeaways
- Build a simple project to learn a new programming language.
- Implement basic features before expanding functionality.
- Utilize YAML front matter for metadata in posts.
- Explore creating an abstract syntax tree for structured data.
How It Works
The compiler scans a directory for Markdown files, processes each file to identify block and inline elements, and constructs an abstract syntax tree (AST) to represent the document structure. The final output is generated as HTML using basic templates.
