  1. …), and before founding Nuanced, I spent seven years at GitHub where I helped build Semantic( https://github.com/github/semantic ), an open-source library for parsing and analyzing code across languages—and scaled security systems to detect…

  2. Github is using GHC to analyze source code, that might be why they're sponsoring. https://github.com/github/semantic

  5. ah, easy. it's because support has not been added into https://github.com/github/semantic which is the tech that powers the GitHub UI. Adding support is pretty easy/mainly glue code [1] that imports the tree sitter API. [1]…

  6. I believe they use semantic (Haskell program that uses tree-sitter) for navigation: https://github.com/github/semantic So the answer may be that semantic does not yet have support for the language in question.

  11. I was looking at https://github.com/github/semantic for providing semantic diffs a while back and I still think it would be a good fit. By looking at the diff between trees, you can ignore a lot of the extra noise like indentations, spaces…
