| | In earlier articles, I introduced this "WAT to Wasm compiler in Roc" project, wrote some Roc code to load an input file, and implemented a tokenizer for a "hello world" of Wat to Wasm compilation. It was... more work than I expected. Four blog posts more work, to be precise! I have no idea where it's going to end. But I do know what's next! Parsing. Reminder: You are reading content that took a great deal of effort to craft, compose, and debug.
