Talk: A Treeless CSS Selector

While still a work in progress, this library already outperforms comparable low-level libraries and Python bindings.
You can view the benchmarks here: https://github.com/zacharyvmm/1go/tree/main/benches.

I'm particularly excited about the query tree feature.
Since this implementation doesn't build a traditional tree structure, it must consolidate multiple queries into a single.

let html = "...";

let query = Query::first("div p.class", Save::none())
    .then(|p| [
         p.first("span", Save::none()),
         p.all("a", Save::none())
    ]).build();
// "div p.class" -> "span"
//               -> "a"

let map = parse(html, &[query]);

Equivalent to:

const main = document.querySelector('main');

const first_span = main.querySelector('span');
const anchors = main.querySelectorAll('a');

Really cool project! I think this would make an interesting talk. We're going to review the schedule and i'll follow-up with some potential dates.

P.S. are you going to add JS bindings so its an alternative to cheerio.

Thanks! I'm looking forward to hearing about potential talk dates.

My goal is to support Rust, Python, JS, Ruby, Java, and C# eventually. JS is a top priority, and I'm making good progress. I'll update this issue once the bindings are solid.
