Discussing Sourceror for AST Parsing with Lucas San Román

Source: thinkingelixir.com

The episode features Lucas San Román discussing his library, Sourceror, which was developed to address certain AST (Abstract Syntax Tree) parsing limitations in Elixir. The main issue tackled is that the standard Elixir parser discards code comments, making it unsuitable for code rewriting during refactoring processes. Sourceror preserves comments and offers advanced features such as a Zipper API to facilitate easier navigation and modification of the source tree. This innovation is significant for future Elixir tools and enhances IDE capabilities for refactoring tasks. Additionally, the episode covers related community news including updates on ElixirConf, developments in Phoenix LiveView, and other relevant library releases.
