Koru adds AST attachments for runnable metadata
Koru announced a feature supporting executable prose and runnable code truths integrated directly into the abstract syntax tree (AST). By establishing first-class support for metadata attached to AST nodes, Koru enables language tooling and IDEs to automatically expand and process documentation alongside code execution, bridging the gap between descriptive commentary and verifiable logic.
// ANALYSIS
Embedding runnable documentation into the AST is a promising step toward eliminating out-of-date specs, though adoption hinges on ergonomics.
- –Integrates runnable metadata directly into AST nodes for automated tooling expansion.
- –Solves documentation drift by treating prose as first-class, executable code assertions.
- –Requires careful syntax design to prevent AST bloat and keep code readability intact.
