Show PostBuilding xberg meant every language in the repo dragged in its own linter and runtime, all wired into pre-commit. So I built polylint: two Rust binaries, one config, no runtimes on the default path. Bundles ruff/oxc/taplo/sqruff in-process, tree-sitter for the rest. Write-up below.
Show PostWe generate code faster than anyone can review by hand. That makes QA critical, not optional: static analysis, type checks, comprehensive e2e/integration tests, agents reviewing against written rules. Then actually test it by hand. Open source it and thousands of users make it stronger.

Show PostHand-maintaining 16 language bindings is where polyglot projects rot. The core moves, one wrapper lags, you find out at runtime. Building xberg we generate them: one Rust core, one alef.toml, idiomatic SDKs per target, shared fixtures e2e-testing every binding so they can't drift.
