Lots of questions, but the main one is whether we have made any progress with these new toolchains and programming languages w/ respect to performance or robustness. And that may be unfair to ask of what is a genuinely useful tutorial.
I assume the point of these tutorials is not to show experts how to progress from the state of the art, but to show beginners how to get there. There are a few tutorials like this (build your own text editor, operating system, etc) and I think they are a great idea if done well.

The lemon parser generator is actually a delight to use if you're into that sort of thing. Paired with re2c you have a combination that rivals yacc/bison IMHO.

Surprise, that author of blog and submitter here did not mention In Rust as part of title.

In 'Part: 1' the author says "Source code examples will be provided in Rust, but you are encouraged to follow along using your language of choice, as we won't be relying on many language-specific features or libraries."
It's meant to be a language-generic tutorial and explanation.

Surprise, ragebait is being downvoted. Let's be more productive in our HN correspondence.

Are you saying downvoting is not the correct response to ragebait? Seems to me that's what it's for. If not, your phrasing is confusing.

This is how I believe it is meant to be read (aimed at the top comment.) And downvotes are exactly how they should be handled. I agree the ‘surprise’ muddles things a bit.

It’s much more ambitious/complete than the db presented in the tutorial.
If memory serves me correctly, it uses the same parser generator as SQLite, which may answer some your questions.
