Mild success!
I have spent every evening over the last week and a bit working on the parser, because a parser is a very good place to start when linting code.
My code is bad, I don't know why it works after not working in many other different configurations, the whole mut thing is magical and kind of dumb, but I have achieved some measure of victory!
I can parse clojure/core.clj (8k lines) in 12 ms!
This is roughly 5x faster than edamame, the parser I'm using in Splint at the moment, and 6x faster than edamame with my additions (parsing ns-forms to auto-resolve :: keywords or parsing defn forms to make linting easier). I suspect that even with the additions, I'll still be 3-5x faster.
That's fuckin sick. I feel fuckin sick for pulling this off. Now I'm done, right?
