Ooooohhh coccinelle for Rust?
Extremely exciting! As someone who values understanding my code, I'd use it over LLM-based refactoring any day of the week (although I might use a LLM to produce coccinelle patches).
Unrelated, but collabora's work with GStreamer... it reads very well. People are using this when they need an upgrade of their prototype in Roboflow?
I wonder how coccinelle compares with something based on clang transformer (something like https://research.google/pubs/large-scale-automated-refactori...)
Can you use Cocci for Java today without hassle?
