An error resistant Huff parser for lsps

Chuff!

Chuff is a huff-language parser with a focus on error recovery.

Warning Chuff is a learning resource for myself and is not suited for production use. Go for it, but it probably won't do what you want it to.

Wat do?

Chuff is a huff parser built with chumsky. A "parser library for humans with powerful error recovery". Using chumsky as a base reduces the effort to build a parser that can recover from errors, which is essential to provide as much feedback as possible within an lsp.

Why

lsp

This software is being written to start the effort in creating a functional lsp for huff. Huff is a hard language to learn as there are so many footguns. Creating an LSP aims to provide feedback to people learning that will reduce the pain of it all.
