Parser: Transpile Rust AST types to Java types (#3555)
Implement generation of Java AST types from the Rust AST type definitions, with support for deserializing in Java syntax trees created in Rust.

### New Libraries

#### `enso-reflect`

Implements a `#[derive(Reflect)]` macro to enable runtime analysis of datatypes. Macro interface includes helper attributes; **the Rust types and the `reflect` attributes applied to them fully determine the Java types** ultimately produced (by `enso-metamodel`). This is the most important API, as it is used in the subject crates (`enso-parser`, and dependencies with types used in the AST). [Module docs](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/blob/wip/kw/parser/ast-transpiler/lib/rust/reflect/macros/src/lib.rs).

#### `enso-metamodel`

Provides data models for data models in Rust/Java/Meta (a highly-abstracted language-independent model--I have referred to it before as the "generic representation", but that was an overloaded term).

The high-level interface consists of operations on data models, and between them. For example, the only operations needed by [the binary that drives datatype transpilation](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/blob/wip/kw/parser/ast-transpiler/lib/rust/parser/generate-java/src/main.rs) are: `rust::to_meta`, `java::from_meta`, `java::transform::optional_to_null`, `java::to_syntax`.

The low-level interface consists of direct usage of the datatypes; this is used by [the module that implements some serialization overrides](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/blob/wip/kw/parser/ast-transpiler/lib/rust/parser/generate-java/src/serialization.rs) (so that the Java interface to `Code` references can produce `String`s on demand based on serialized offset/length pairs). The serialization override mechanism is based on customizing, not replacing, the generated deserialization methods, so as to be as robust as possible to changes in the Rust source or in the transpilation process.

### Important Notes

- Rust/Java serialization is exhaustively tested for structural compatibility. A function [`metamodel::meta::serialization::testcases`](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/blob/wip/kw/parser/ast-transpiler/lib/rust/metamodel/src/meta/serialization.rs) uses `reflect`-derived data to generate serialized representations of ASTs to use as test cases. Its should-accept cases cover every type a tree can contain; it also produces a representative set of should-reject cases. A Rust `#[test]` confirms that these cases are accepted/rejected as expected, and generated Java tests (see Binaries below) check the generated Java deserialization code against the same test cases.
- Deserializing `Code` is untested. The mechanism is in place (in Rust, we serialize only the offset/length of the `Cow`; in Java, during deserialization we obtain a context object holding a buffer for all string data; the accessor generated in Java uses the buffer and the offset/length to return `String`s), but it will be easier to test once we have implemented actually parsing something and instantiating the `Cow`s with source code.
- `#[tagged_enum]` [now supports](https://github.com/enso-org/enso/blob/wip/kw/parser/ast-transpiler/lib/rust/shapely/macros/src/tagged_enum.rs#L36-L51) control over what is done with container-level attributes; they can be applied to the container and variants (default), only to the container, or only to variants.
- Generation of `sealed` classes is supported, but currently disabled by `TARGET_VERSION` in `metamodel::java::syntax` so that tests don't require Java 15 to run. (The same logic is run either way; there is a shallow difference in output.)

### Binaries

The `enso-parser-generate-java` crate defines several binaries:
- `enso-parser-generate-java`: Performs the transpilation; after integration, this will be invoked by the build script.
- `java-tests`: Generates the Java code that tests format deserialization; after integration this command will be invoked by the build script, and its Java output compiled and run during testing.
- `graph-rust`/`graph-meta`/`graph-java`: Produce GraphViz representations of data models in different typesystems; these are for developing and understanding model transformations. 

Until integration, a **script regenerates the Java and runs the format tests: `./tools/parser_generate_java.sh`**. The generated code can be browsed in `target/generated_java`.

Enso Source Code

If you want to start using Enso, please see the download links in the getting started section above. Alternatively you can get the IDE here and the language itself here. This section is intended for people interested in contributing to the development of Enso.

Enso is a community-driven open source project which is, and will always be, open and free to use. Join us, help us to build it, and spread the word!


Project Components

Enso consists of several sub projects:

  • Enso Engine: The Enso Engine is the set of tools that implement the Enso language and its associated services. These include the Enso interpreter, a just-in-time compiler and runtime (both powered by GraalVM), and a language server that lets you inspect Enso code as it runs. These components can be used on their own as command line tools.

  • Enso IDE: The Enso IDE is the desktop application that allows working with the visual form of Enso. It consists of an Electron application, a high performance WebGL UI framework, and the searcher which provides contextual search, hints, and documentation for all of Enso's functionality.

Enso's Design

If you would like to gain a better understanding of the principles on which Enso is based, or just delve into the why's and what's of Enso's design, please take a look in the docs/ folder. It is split up into subfolders for each component of Enso. You can view this same documentation in a rendered form at the developer docs website.

This folder also contains a document on Enso's design philosophy, that details the thought process that we use when contemplating changes or additions to the language.

This documentation will evolve as Enso does, both to help newcomers to the project understand the reasoning behind the code, but also to act as a record of the decisions that have been made through Enso's evolution.
