- Hendrikto 3y agoOne obvious example would be refactoring. Many patterns are not (easily) expressible as regexes.

- yodsanklai 3y agoWouldn't you use tools like clang-tidy for that use case? wouldn't it be more flexible and general? Also does this project let you rewrite code or only run queries?
