[idea] Rust target for ANTLR

[at15]

\cc @dyweb/mos

idea issuer: @at15

Requirement

ANTLR is a parser generator, it has runtime for language like Java, Python, JavaScript, Go. But none of them is that good for implementing a new language due to lack of feature like pattern matching. Rust is loved by many folks in @dyweb, notably @mrmiywj @codeworm96 .

There is no on going attempt in the community as far as I know
