Hi there HN,

I'm Jieren, creator of SourceScape. SourceScape is a query engine for source code that lets you build up constraints for the code you want to see, much like GraphQL in a GUI. It's a no-code builder for static analysis.

Static analysis is a powerful tool for understanding and verifying code. I want to make writing static code analysis as easy as code search so that you'll be using it all the time. Instead of creating migration spreadsheets, you'll just write queries. Instead of doing nitpicks for code reviews, you'll just write queries.

Happy to answer any questions you have! Also, any feedback would be much appreciated.

This is pretty neat -- is there any way to extend this to tree transformations to make this a tool for refactoring?

Thanks!

Yes, that's part of the ultimate vision. The challenge will be figuring out how to represent these transformations.
