Nessie Parse

This library let's you define a parser for your language by combining smaller parsers together in a simple and familiar syntax to Iterator and Option types. This way of combining parsers together is called parser combinators.

Non Goals

What does this library not try to achieve?

• Good error reporting
• Warnings
• Good Performance
• Non-UTF-8 text parsing

Inspired By

The reason I believe in parser combinators is because of Elm. Elm's compiler has great error messages and one of the best white-space-sensitive syntax I've seen implemented. That compiler is implemented in Haskell and uses parsers-as-monads. You can't have do notation for monads in Rust, but you can get close to it.
