Show HN: My Cross-Platform MySQL Parser

I have just completed the MySQL parser that will be soon used in MIST.

The story behind is that TiDB MySQL parser, which is by far the most MySQL compatible parser, was depending on some types called "parser_driver".

Parser Driver contains types from TiDB, but unfortunately, TiDB is not going to moving MySQL types, which is heavy entangled with TiDB, out as a independent Go package. GitHub issue:16381

To me, TiDB itself is mixing all its open-sourced modules as a very opinionated monolith.

I was porting MIST to WASM binary and TiDB syscalls will be stupidly included, compiled, and making static linking failed when targeting WASM.

Thus I spent a few days to extract the existing parser package and parser driver and re-export the entangled TiDB types into an ACTUALLY WORKING MySQL parser go package, which is truly cross-platform and ready to port to WASM.
