Description

I want to suggest rewriting AST into protobuf format to support it in other programming languages. Perhaps I'm not taking into account the huge amount of work that follows, but I can imagine a situation where it would be extremely useful (for example, in proto-generators for SQL interaction). Thanks for your attention!

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the existing Rust AST and defining which parts would need a protobuf representation for use by other languages, including the proposed SQL interaction generators. Done would require an agreed design and an implementation plan, rather than a small isolated change.
