awesome-structure-editors VS playground

Yes, I think that we can do better than plain text as the source of truth, and thus git would probably need to change.

There's work around a bunch of languages that are not based on text, some have their own editor or a tool to manage a canonical representation in text for you that would make them friendlier to git.

There's many more akin projects listed in https://github.com/yairchu/awesome-structure-editors/blob/ma...

I can't wait fast enough for these ideas to reshape how we deal with programs and build stuff.

Haskell seems to be pretty big. For example in this list of projects it appears to be the second most popular language (after TypeScript) :)

It would be interesting to have such a general project go somewhere.

While in principle structural editing sounds like an incredible advance, there are 'good enough' advantages to plain-text tools that make it a much more practical solution. The other issue is of course integration with existing tooling, which you either skip entirely or compromise on the design.

What I feel is missing, between the description of "old, bad state of things" and "utopian vision" is a review of some of the projects that already tried to achieve this ideal state. It turns out there are a number of them, and most of them failed to achieve any traction or impact [0].

The rants are very long, so I skimmed quickly the one about git; I understand the complaints, although git is only bringing me joy and no pain --interactive rebase, absorb and a few aliases made it a breeze. But in a similar fashion there are projects trying to solve its fundamental issues, like pijul(.org); what are they missing?

Some good ones pops up in Projectional Programming [1] once in a while. The pinned thread links to the structure-editors github list [2] too.

You can also install the treesitter-playground to learn about the queries.

I always use https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground to write my queries

Are you using treesitter-playground? It's a great resource for making queries.

In your browser got to 'https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground'.

It's nvim-treesitter's playground plugin

What do you think about treesitter? https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter

The idea is to sync changes in the text to a tree structure, then have all the structure manipulation functions built on top of it. See the gif here for a visual representation: https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground

If you are into compilers/ASP look into https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground and catch ThePrimeagen's vide around this timestamp.

here you go

Awesome, it would be nice to have such feature inside emacs, like neovim has https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/playground (right now we have tree-sitter-debug-mode, but without interactivity)
