Writing Open Source Tooling Using AST
summary
Brankas builds Gunk, a Go-first DSL that outputs .proto, protobuf Go code, JSON and Swagger by walking Go source with go/ast and the types checker; the pipeline uses a loader, temporary generated Go files, a parser for kong tags, then a translator that emits file and service descriptors. Result is removal of manual proto editing, automatic gRPC/serialization stubs and docs generation, and a reproducible generator that successfully streamlines internal Go API development.
