    It's unclear what the superpowers would be? Video doesn't show anything I can't do with an IDE or decent code editor, and there I also have refactoring tools, metadata like indicators for usages that can be used for navigating and so on.

    Reminds me of UML-like diagrams over relational databases, except that it's generated one piece at a time. In practice I generate diagrams showing cyclomatic complexity much more often, and for code exploration outside the IDE I'd use ast-grep.

    ast-grep is a command-line tool that lets you search and transform code written in many programming languages using abstract syntax trees (ASTs). ASTs are data structures that capture the syntactic and semantic structure of source code. With ast-grep, you can write patterns as if you are writing ordinary code, and it will match all code that has the same syntactical structure. And if you need more power, you can use YAML, a rule system that allows you to write more sophisticated linting rules or code modifications.

    I really like this - it means the tool is available to people with familiarity of any of those four distribution mechanisms.

    You can also download pre-built binaries from their releases page: https://github.com/ast-grep/ast-grep/releases/tag/0.14.2

    On top of that, they offer API bindings for it in three different languages:

    - Rust (not yet stable): https://docs.rs/ast-grep-core/latest/ast_grep_core/

    - JavaScript/TypeScript: https://ast-grep.github.io/guide/api-usage/js-api.html

    - Python: https://ast-grep.github.io/guide/api-usage/py-api.html

    It's rare to see a tool/library offer this depth of language support out of the box.
