Implementing a programming language in D: Lexical Analysis

If you want to see what a lexical analyzer looks like in Rust, here's one that I wrote for Lua:

Of course, Rust's own lexer is also written in Rust.

ETA: I can't promise my lexer is actually any good... it's really the first non-trivial thing I've written in Rust. But it works ;)

Thanks for that link! I'm currently writing a compiler for a minuscule language[1] and it's great to be able to look at how other people tackle the same problem and learn.
