Tutorials and issues on all aspects of creating software to analyse code
I like processing code for several purposes, like static analysis or automated refactoring. The interesting part to me is to reason on the models you build from the Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). To get there you need a way to get the AST from your source files. This can be done easily using ANTLR and […]

I am currently improving the language and working on a Maven and an IntelliJ plugins. Here and in the next posts I will go over the […]

The editor should have syntax highlighting, validation and auto-completion We would also get for free an editor for Eclipse and web editor, but please contain your excitement, we […]
