Are we lang yet?

There and thriving.

Rust's expressiveness and performance makes writing languages and tooling enjoyable and practical. It has an established and growing ecosystem of crates for all purposes, including lexing, parsing, and code generation.

Can I write a compiler in Rust?

Absolutely! Multiple production-ready compilers have been written already (see the showcase), and more are sure to come.
