What languages or frameworks should weave support next?

[rs545837]

weave currently supports 12 languages via sem-core tree-sitter parsers:

Rust, TypeScript, TSX, JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, C, C++, Ruby, C#, Fortran

What languages would be most useful for your workflow? Some options that have come up:

• Kotlin (Android, server-side)
• Swift (iOS)
• PHP (Laravel, WordPress)
• Scala (Spark, Akka)
• Zig (systems)
• Haskell (FP)
• Lua (game scripting)
• Elixir (web, distributed)

Upvote this discussion or comment with your language and use case. This directly informs what we build next.

Would love to see this for Elixir 🙏

We added it here

Update: Elixir and Bash support just shipped in sem v0.3.5!

Elixir extracts: defmodule, def, defp, defmacro, defmacrop, defguard, defguardp, defprotocol, defimpl (with for: target), defstruct, defexception, defdelegate. Nesting works (defs inside defmodule get proper parent relationships).

Bash extracts function definitions (both greet() {} and function deploy {} syntax).

Also correcting the supported list — PHP and Swift were already supported but missing from the original post. Current total is 16 languages:

TypeScript, TSX, JavaScript, Python, Go, Rust, Java, C, C++, Ruby, C#, PHP, Fortran, Swift, Elixir, Bash

Still open for votes on the remaining: Kotlin, Scala, Zig, Haskell, Lua. Let us know what you need!

@evanob Elixir is live 🎉
