rob pike@robpike.io · 7mo agoFuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Thanks to @modal-labs.bsky.social for hosting, @hd-nvim.bsky.social and Matt Powers for a couple of great talks, and to everyone who joined us!
I almost got brain aneurysm thinking that the query syntax of tree-sitter and ast-grep differ. Fortunately that's not the case, but - contrary to Internet wisdom - query syntax is not compatible between languages (parsers). Also, ast-grep's Playground is insanely useful: 1/2
Excited for the #RustNYC talks Nov. 13! Herrington Darkholme will present a comprehensive guide to building custom linting tools for #RustLang projects. Matt Powers will speak about #SedonaDB, a geospatial compute engine that's built on #DataFusion. Register: www.meetup.com/rust-nyc/eve...
Talks: Custom Rust Linting (ast-grep) & Geospatial DataFrame lib (SedonaDB), Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 6:30 PM | Meetup
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give attendees plenty of time to grab pizza and socialize, and the talk begin at 7:30 p.m. **Talk #1: Custom Rust Linting** **Herrington Darkhol

#ast_grep_trick ast-grep's rule is heavily inspired by CSS selectors. The rule `identifier` node is `inside` the node `call_expression` is something similar to `call_expression > identifier`
ast-grep is my personal hobby project, and all user feedback, whether good or bad, is voluntary. I don't request comments from users. If you see statements that ast-grep's community is attacking others, they are fake rumors, or more precisely, narrative trickery.
ast-grep | structural search/rewrite tool for many languages https://ast-grep.github.io/ What on earth! You can grep-replace parts of your code-base, but instead of string matching, you write AST matching expressions? That's wild.
ast-grep | structural search/rewrite tool for many languages
ast-grep is a fast and polyglot tool for code structural search, lint, rewriting at large scale.

letting AI write an ast-grep rule for me. I'm using cursor, ast-grep mcp tool, custom cursor rule and gemini-2.5pro
Compare biomejs plugin with ast-grep in one picture: both syntax and speed.
One pic to compare ast-grep rule syntax with biome plugin syntax. The example shows the rule no-implicit-bool-jsx-attr, e.g. <div draggable /> => <div draggable={true} />
A proof of concept to run ast-grep via OXC parser
just some (probably filthy) vimscript to get ast-grep to run on the current buffer and update it cc @hd-nvim.bsky.social 👀

ast-grep playground now shows the wasm parser version it is using. convenient to debug parser version difference from CLI
Learning a tool can be overwhelming, but ast-grep's new UI makes it easier to explore bit by bit. 📊 Better visuals: Show more rule information 🔍 Filter examples: By rules, features, and languages 📈 Sort by complexity: Start with easy rules and explore sophisticated ones
