Rust Examples

These are small snippets of the Rust, in varying degrees of elaborateness, meant to accompany the presentation given in presentation/rust.pdf. I am not a particularly experienced Rust programmer, so these programs may differ significantly from conventional Rust style or idiom, or may be written in a suboptimal way.

Right now, the examples include:

• An interpreter for the untyped lambda-calculus
• A regular-expression matcher

Build System

The presentation is built using redo, which is my preferred build system for small projects. I understand that not everyone has redo, so I've included do, which is a small shell implementation of redo that rebuilds everything rather than doing clever dependency-tracking like redo proper. You can build the presentation with

$ cd presentation
$ ../do

and clean it with

$ cd presentation
$ ../do clean

The Rust projects have been updated to use Cargo, the proper Rust build system.
