Show HN: Optimizing compiler for a large subset of C, written in Rust

Hello.
I wanted to share what I had been working on for the past couple of months or so. It's an optimizing C compiler for a large subset of the C programming language written in Rust. It's basically a Rust implementation of the C compiler from Nora Sandler's book[1].
It has been a great educational exercise and I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

It's my hope that people will take the hint: "Wait ... if Rust is a better way to compile C than C itself, maybe I should learn Rust."
