Hot take: regex is an esoteric programming language.

es·o·ter·ic
/ˌesəˈterik/
Intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.

And yes, regular expressions are programs!

Think this bug report is overkill?
Nahhhhhhhhhhh, probably not.

Did someone say high-fidelity fantasy desktop?

Currently focusing on a documentation update for peacock non its core libraries! Enjoying writing it!

I'm having fun developing peacock's examples :3

Some pre-alpha testing of peacock! In the process of a rewrite to make the code much cleaner!

Still need to implement the rest of the widgets, add event subscriptions, and add support for applying CSS stylesheets (courtesy of crest) to widgets.

Crest is coming along VERY nicely! I recently added support for arbitrary css properties (they just receive no validation whatsoever) and optional values for css properties! Pretty happy with performance this early too! Acid tests are going great!

So this is pretty crazy (crest is a custom css parser I've been working on)

A snippet, though validation of token stream orders is the hard part, you can't get very complex in PEGs, unfortunately

Made this blinkie for my vaporwave-themed personal website :D
This one's customized for posting to bsky but the original is here:

Getting closer and closer!! at-rules are currently unsupported because they modify how CSS works, and the default CSS behaviour isn't even done, and not all CSS attributes are implemented, but this is getting pretty close to being ready for testing!

Working on mapping iced-rs widget properties to CSS properties. Some things are a direct, one-to-one translation. Other things are.... less-so.

Thoughts?

After a LOT of trial and error with different interface designs, this is what I've settled on for defining the CSS API! I can understand what's going on at a glance, and the code isn't terrible, so that's good enough for me! Thoughts?

More progress! Trying to make the amount of rust needed to use the framework as minimal as possible :D

CSS is also in the works! Parser written, still need a standardized API for the css core-library and a large css file with all of the default values to be applied before others.

Keep an eye out!

VERY exciting progress on the framework I'm working on! The XML is parsed into Rust source within `build.rs`, and it's simple to hook into associated events!
