ASTs typically discard comments, and that's usually what you want. The only time (AFAICS) that preserving comments is useful is for writing a code formatter. Could you write a formatter in terms of a list of lexemes? A CST is a non-trivial bit of code for one use case.

Is there a programming equivalent of the strawberry problem, i.e. a specific coding task that LLMs are consistently bad at?

Playing with Claude and my new programming language has made me add features that it wants. I think they're reasonable. `for method in methods` -- custom syntax error explaining that `method` is a reserved word `echo 'println("hello world")' | garden` -- eval snippets from stdin
