YES - this was very much on my mind actually. I was thinking we really need section outlining for Markdown (and for diffs etc, so like "two people want to edit this paragraph" when we have collision detection later). It didn't make it into the first cut but was and still is top of mind as I'm dogfooding it. I have had some good ideas and some stupid ideas for semantic history, and many very mixed prototypes. The simp…

> a table of commits-modifying-this-thing [...] a linear list of commits doesn't convey branch/merge topology well. Agreed. Presenting both the local diff and the location in the commit graph seems like a better bet for helping people glean understanding of a change's purpose and context. I'm also thinking of using a table of per-item changes that's tied to the commit graph for topologically sorted history and reacha…

It's actually pretty straightforward; we use tree-sitter for parsing and it takes me about 2-3 hours for each language. So I'm planning to add a lot more in the near future. If you have any that you find especially valuable, let me know and I'll see if I can prioritize them.

Ruby with sorbet would be cool, and C#

  sig {params(name: String).returns(Integer)}
  def main(name)
    puts "Hello, #{name}!"
    name.length
  end

  def mysig(&proc)
    sig(&proc)  # or some other transformation
  end

  mysig {params(name: String).returns(Integer)}  # does this work? I hope/assume not
  def foo(name)
    name.length
  end

For Ruby + Sorbet, it looks like Sorbet fits into Ruby syntax so we can reuse the same grammar, but you'd probably want the signatures to be considered as part of the methods. Working with the example from their website: sig {params(name: String).returns(Integer)} def main(name) puts "Hello, #{name}!" name.length end I think the idea is that Asqi should treat `sig {}` sort of like a comment: prefix metadata attached…

Do you know whether Sorbet continues to work if you alias `sig` and any of its other definitions? For example, can I do this? No, it doesn't work if you alias

Awesome, OK I believe I can make that work then. Very glad you mentioned Sorbet because I hadn't heard of it before but it will be cool to have it ship with Ruby out of the gate.

Same demo not working for me, asks me to install a React App on the address bar in Chrome. No chance I'm installing something random.

Yeah you definitely don't need to install anything. I don't know how to deploy React apps apparently (will try to fix), but it's just a regular website and I would never ask users to expect anything else. Update: it's because create-react-app creates manifest.json in public/, which causes Chrome to prompt you for this. I've deleted it in the latest container image and I'll redeploy once traffic dies down a bit.
