Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Acts on the AST so code manipulations happen within the true language syntax e.g. selecting the whole control statement. This enables AST native editing, selection, navigation, find & replace. Has a built in LSP and file explorer. Themes and syntax highlighting powered by Tree-sitter.

Tradeoffs

Might take some getting used to - it has a VS Code extension if you prefer a GUI.
