Try implementing protodef in an other language and test it

[rom1504]

Now that we have .json test data, it's possible to easily test if an other implementation behave correctly.

Might be interesting to try https://www.rust-lang.org/

Also possible to try different protodef implementation in js (for example #28 ) and be able to check easily whether stuff still work right.

Or maybe just python https://github.com/SpockBotMC/SpockBot/blob/master/spockbot/mcp/datautils.py

I have an impl of ProtoDef in C lying somewhere. I should dig it up and post it. However, it has a lot of incompatibilities with the current protodef so I might need to clean it up first ^^.

Just to add to this issue, as we already know there is an Elixir implementation that works with the current spec. @roblabla it'd be nice if you released your C protodef even just as a reference. It'd also be useful to maybe write an implementation guide that eases developers that are interested in writing there own implementations

This is a ProtoDef implementation for Node.JS, maybe we should move this issue to ProtoDef?

Doesn't really matter and we could consider the case of extending the compiler for another language
