And i assume any large organisation running a monorepo has some vaguely equivalent tooling for making mass changes. Have any of them published about that?

You can write automated refactoring with clang tools if you need AST-level knowledge across your project (or monorepo).

I’m not sure if there’s other public examples leveraging this, but Chromium has this document [0] which has a few examples. And there’s also the clang-tidy docs [1].

This is a business that I suspect may not survive BABLR.

> Moderne's build plugins allow for LSTs to be serialized to disk. This makes the process of consuming and editing large quantities of them much more efficient. OpenRewrite's build plugins, on the other hand, store everything in memory and need to be reparsed every time there is a change.

So yeah I'm giving away open standards to everyone for free that do the thing they expect people to pay them for...
