The rtsc is a compiler written in rust for the subset of the TypeScript language that generates ARM32 assembly. It is based on the book written by Vladimir Keleshev titled "Compiling to Assembly".
I do not intend to further develop this project. I did it as a learning exercise.
There is an exemplary source file (main.ts) that can be compiled using the
compile-main.sh bash script. I compile on the X86-64 PC.

enumto represent different AST nodes, instead of separate classes that would implement a trait. - I created parser combinators using functions only, as opposed to having
structwith methods. This was a bad idea because the resulting code is terrible and using functions leads to many weird things. In essence, the parser is terrible but it works. I might rewrite it at some point. - I didn't implement garbage colector.
