While I agree tree-sitter is an amazing tool, writing the grammar out can be incredibly difficult I found. I tried writing out a grammar and highlighting query set for vhdl with tree-sitter, and found that there were a lot of difficulties in expressing vhdl grammar in tree-sitter.

- grub5000 3y agoSeems like something LLMs should be useful for, if not now then soon enough
- HumanOstrich 3y agoI think many people are exhausted (at least I am) with the constant irrational exuberance of bolting AI onto every technology, product, and service in existence to end all of humanity's problems. It won't work like that.
- germandiago 3y agoIn fact, reminds me of the time at which they used Blockchain for everything. Just a bubble right now. It will come back to its natural uses after it. Everyone is doing AI now and I am pretty sure it is to attract investment even if some might know their product will go nowhere.
- dreamcompiler 3y agoCorrection: Everybody says they're doing AI now because that's the magic buzzword for getting money. I spent the 1990s building actual AI software, but we had to call it something else because if you even whispered "AI" in the 90s your funding would dry up instantly.

- germandiago 3y agoNo... I mean, this is a perfect example, seriously. Made me laugh.
