# 13:39 sebbu [Joe_Crawford], yeah, but the goal is to describe what's inside <code>, just like you do for adresses or whatnot
# 13:40 sebbu so that you know "this is a function" "this is a class" "this is an operator" etc...
# 13:41 sebbu and it *should* be integrated into thoses well-established toolchains later, my main entry-point would have been LSP
# 13:41 aaronpk isn't that what syntax highlighting already does?
# 13:43 sebbu not exactly, it's mostly visual/styling, it doesn't distinguish some of the different types of data
# 13:43 sebbu it's like the difference between using regex and DOM to parse html ;)
# 15:14 [tantek] This seems like a whole lot of extra work to add double parsing
# 15:14 [tantek] That is, every programming language already has a grammar to fully parse it!
# 15:14 [tantek] So it you want to extract its semantics, use its grammar
