• Experiment with different approaches in Rust to build trees, safe and unsafe
• Try out FFI with Zig and build the AST in Zig

As of now, only C# 8 features are going to be covered as in the language specification, the project will slowly add the newer language features.

This item is for experimenting with different data structures and algorithms to perform efficient parsing for the initial and sequencial runs.

As C# projects tend to start and grow big, because of different files (cs, csproj, sln, cshtml, etc...), most parsers in IDEs are extremely slow in the initial parse, and there's a noticeable lag for incremental parse.

This is here just because it'd be cool to see the abstract syntax tree and tokens in a GUI

• Find a way to view the AST and tokens in a GUI
• Allow zoom-in and out in the view

• Parse a project built with C# 8
• Experiment with different incremental parsing strategies and measure the performance
