I think there is an elephant in the room of Yegge's article: he is apparently leading the development of a toolchain for code analysis and he is at the same time a self-declared "liberal", who advocates use of metaprogramming, evaled code, and all sort of black magic. But then almost all the fights he fights everyday are precisely against these multiple techniques that make code analysis, even when simply greping for the place where a thing has been set, a nightmare. (Just imagine you want to know why ab == 2, and it is so because in another line of another file you have eval("a" + x + " = 2"), and because of another remote line of code x happens to equal "b".) So, we can be optimistic and hope Grok will work. But another possibility is that Yegge's sweet-and-sour rant is the sign that it is unbearable for him to see his "software political belief" to be the cause of the failure of his gigantic project. The fact that he is talking publicly about an internal project, apparently without authorisation, may mean he is looking for the emergency exit sign over the door...
