I was thinking about trying this out, but there are some reasons why I don't think it's feasible.
Where are your comments stored?
What happens when you need to run out in the middle of a fire and you don't have time to make your code compile-able? How do you commit "un-compile-able" changes?
I think there are some really compelling reasons to try AST-checkin - all your loops can now be changed to functional, dialect changes like you mention, etc. - but there are some pretty significant downsides as well.
- n42 3y agothese are both already solved issues that IDEs deal with with red-green trees
- lowbloodsugar 3y agoNodes in the AST for comments, block comments and "raw text I don't understand" seems like a way to go?
- distortedsignal 3y agoHonestly yeah. Might have to give this another go.
