Figuring out how to fill the gap between code search and static analysis (code checks.)

Right now the tools we have for programmatically reading through code are: 1. Code search, which is fast, but inaccurate/heuristic. 2. Static analysis, which is slow to run and difficult to write, but very accurate.

I'm building a tool that is as fast and easy to use as code search, and is as accurate and expressive as static analysis.

Still just a landing page [0]. Looking to get a public playground people can mess around with this week.
