  • ASTs in Ruby - Node Pattern and Introducing RuboCop
    1 project | dev.to | 15 Jun 2022
    Oh, and that regex bit? Remember how we have Rubular for regex? We have the NodePattern Debugger for ASTs which you will find incredibly helpful, in fact you might open it now and try out some of these examples to make sure I'm not pulling a Fast one. (No, I'm not apologizing for that one.)
  • Future of Ruby – AST Tooling
    4 projects | dev.to | 14 Nov 2021
    Some of these tools have even already been wrapped, like Jonatas's work on FFast which works on top of NodePattern and some of RuboCop's previous work. Really the only things between us and this future is a bit more wrapping and polish, as well as integrations into something like VSCode.
