Hell fucking yes, #rust is *awesome*

I got the lexer almost fully working, while being much more readable and far, far less boilerplate-y than the original C version!

Next step should be finishing the last seven token types I couldn't be arsed to write the functions for yet, and then I'll get working on the parser!

For context, I'm porting a #gameboy assembler to Rust: https://github.com/ISSOtm/rsgbds/tree/asm

It's going fairly well! At this point, I don't anticipate more significant headaches; the lexer is, by far, the most critical part of the entire program (owing to some unfortunate design decisions made in the late 90's, but that we have learned how to work with since).

See you some time later with hopefully more promising screenshots ^^
