hof VS smug

Many business analysts use SQL, have for a long time. They are probably not your target audience. With the problem being JAVA specific, you'd likely want to start there

This sounds similar to the goals of my hof tool (https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof), lift type definitions out of code so they can be defined in one place, then generate the code for all the places. Is that sounding like what you are after?

Having built something similar, the biggest challenge for users is that they have to use a bespoke language, like WASP here. I suspect that it is also your biggest challenge as well.

Mine is built on CUE, which at least has the potential to become a more widely used language. CUE hasn't reached sufficient maturity for broader adoption yet, so I continue to face this same problem.

Here's a big one I needed to get ChatGPT to do something more sophisticated with a JSON object response (predates functions and all that)

https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/blob/_dev/flow/chat/pro...

It no longer worked after a model update some time ago, haven't tried recently.

I found codellama to be much better for this and require fewer instructions, an anecdotal validation for smaller, focussed models

I was surprised out how you can define arbitrary grammars using arbitrary formulation and it would follow it. Of course you have to redo the prompt every time there is an update... such a pain

CUE is indeed a beautiful language, will get those mind juices flowing for sure!

There is more work to be done on the codec implementation, but if you just want to split yaml/json across files, CUE is a great option

You might also like my project, built on CUE: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof We have a TUI where you can explore and work with CUE, JSON, Yaml

You can pretty much make up any pseudo grammar like this one, which is a reduced JSON object that is close to CUE: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/blob/_dev/flow/chat/pro...

No need to be formal or use a standard format

Yea, in particular for this project, they have created a bespoke templating system.

You can get the same thing with Go text/templates by adding chat function(s) as custom a helper: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/blob/_dev/lib/templates...

100% one of the best things about building a TUI is not having the pain of modern web development. I do think there is a way to have a CLI & TUI come from the same code, so you can get the best of both, or pick the best for the task at hand.

experiments in progress here: https://github.com/hofstadter-io/hof/tree/_dev/lib/tui

CUE is another interesting language to use from within Go, and is rather natural, given CUE is implemented in Go, but you can also do way more cool things with CUE via the Go API.

We're using CUE to validate and transform data, as input to code gen, the basis for a DAG task engine, and more

If you are into tmux, I would appreciate some PRs https://github.com/ivaaaan/smug

I use smug to define window layouts so I can open/close codebases as needed.

Or smug. Which is very similar and written in Go.

If you're looking for something more in line with tmuxinator but not ruby, check out https://github.com/ivaaaan/smug

A session manager for tmux. Not that fancy like tmuxinator or tmuxp, but pretty decent.
