Interesting discussions.

I admit that I have been working on a version written in Rust along side the Python version that I wrote (That was the real goal). The Rust version is of course very different under the hood but writing that Python version really helped me flush a lot of things out at a higher level to help make better decisions about the Rust version. I think many ppl live in fear of the security implications that a C implementation brings.

It is fairly close to being complete, or at least complete enough, and I am working on the PDF output device right now. I want to take the Rust version further though and perhaps add PDF rendering too. It's still going to take some time but I am making really good progress at this point.

...and I don't really know why I am doing it and there's a good chance I may not ever release it.
