GoSuB Browser Progress, pt16

Created at 2023-09-25 08:35:13 (1 year ago)

Did a blog post on one of the reasons why I started this browser project. Exploded on hackernews. Got a lot of possive reactions on it, and of course, the usual "why don't you contribute to X".

For now, there is more activity in the repository, and some contributions are coming in. That is really nice and doing a project on your own is always, well, lonely I guess. This does mean however, that more communication is needed to the outside world, in order to let contributers know what can be done. There isn't really any at the moment, except for a small issue list on github that doesn't say much really. I think this is one of the downsides of having a very early project where everything touches other things, but at least we have some contributers that know more about rust and rust infra than me, and happily fix my mistakes :-)

I got a bit stuck with a test that needs the adoption agency and reconstruction of active elements. After some rewriting of things, I did some "discussion" with chatGPT on how step-by-step the given test should be parsed. Turns out it took a few times for it to come up with a correct solution, so I can try and see if I can replay those steps through the debugger, and see where the differences are. Most likely it would be just a simple off-by-one, < vs > change, or something like that. But given the size of the parser, it's difficult to pinpoint them exactly.
