The Ray Tracer Challenge - 023 - The World in YAML

Instead of defining the World/Scene to be rendered within our code, lets define it using an easy to write YAML syntax. We parsing the YAML and constructing the needed world object from it on the fly.
Join me, while I implement chapter by chapter from the book "The Ray Tracer Challenge" by Jamis Buck in Rust a language completely new to me.
Come with me on the journey of learning the Rust programming language, while implementing a Ray Tracer in a Test driven fashion, to have fun and (hopefully) create some astonishing rendered graphics.
Let's study the inner workings of a Ray Tracer, and take a look under the hood of the Rust language, while taking on this challenge on a weekly basis.
All the code produced within this series is provided on github, for you to
follow along.
