SEL uses GitHub's tree-sitter generated parsers to parse dozens of
programming languages into parse trees. These parse trees are built
using GrammaTech's functional-trees applicative data structure
providing cheap copy and undo operations, efficient storage of large
populations of program variants, and fast updates. Common Lisp's
object system CLOS and generic functions power a generic
programming model providing ergonomic traversal, analysis, and
rewriting of program source code. SEL's program rewriting produces
developer-quality diffs which only change the mutated portion of the
program text, and handle indentation and the minutiae of ;s and ,s
for the developer.
