Figuring out how to fill the gap between code search and static analysis (code checks.)
Right now the tools we have for programmatically reading through code are:
1. Code search, which is fast, but inaccurate/heuristic.
2. Static analysis, which is slow to run and difficult to write, but very accurate.
I'm building a tool that is as fast and easy to use as code search, and is as accurate and expressive as static analysis.
Still just a landing page [0]. Looking to get a public playground people can mess around with this week.
