What are the most popular languages that have used an AST walker for their implementation?
I know Ruby used to do this, but there must be others.
(I'm interested in the lowest PL speed that users will tolerate if you have awesome features.)

The author of rust-analyzer discussing how language features help or hinder fast IDEs.
If you allow `from m import *` you can't analyse files in isolation, and it's even harder in Rust.
I think you could build an interesting IDE with a tiny embedded LLM in addition to the usual tooling.
Features like 'extract method' would be much nicer if an LLM could provide a name. Choosing a good name is virtually impossible from just a typed AST.
For hobby projects, I really like software where I can do small features or tweaks. Sometimes I don't have time for anything more substantial.
Website projects are great for this. Are there other areas?
