[FR] Rust support

[keerthanap8898]

Adding Rust parser

OpenAnt currently supports Go, Python, JS/TS(beta), C/C++(beta), PHP(beta), Ruby(beta) only.

• However, I want to try this tool with repositories that contain rust-crates &/or other Rust components.
• I'll maybe even submit some PRs soon if not later; but I'd love to hear what the maintainers think.

Hence, I'm also looping in @ar7casper since they've worked on most other parsers & language support, if not all. So I'd love to especially hear what you think.

---

Goal:

➜ Add a Rust parser so repos containing Rust crates can run - " $openant init ... -l rust", ┈ ＆┈ " $openant parse" successfully.

Questions:

1. Which approach best matches OpenAnt’s parser architecture: tree-sitter-rust, rust-analyzer, or another AST strategy?
2. Are there any must-have outputs/IR fields the Rust parser needs to populate for later stages ( enhancements / analysis / verification )?
3. How this maps against your current plans; &
4. If you've got other conflicting considerations &/or blockers that I may be unaware of.

---

Hence, if this sounds good,

I could perhaps try & submit a minimal Rust fixture & parser, etc.

...especially if it's not on your immediate agenda. Lmk.

Example personal repo

( that I'd love to assess using OpenAnt ):

• github.com/keerthanap8898/TextToVideoAPI
• Contains a Rust component at rust-worker/src/main.rs ( alongside Python ).

@keerthanap8898 On it. Great idea.
