bloop alternatives

Great product with a lot of great features that can help you easily find code. The paid product is rather expensive though and I can't see a legitimate reason to use it unless your dealing with either lots of private repos or need the automations included within it, and even then its still somewhat pricey for those features.

I'm using ast-grep for Vue Vine and some other projects, it's super efficient for AST node searching, and I really love the rules mechanism, it indeed provides a much more easy, intuitive and declarative way for describing my requirements, I don't need to write a lot of `walk` methods or write very imperative visitors. For today's JavaScript ecosystem, ast-grep is really a good choice to do tasks like "Code search and analysis", "Code rewrite/refactor", "Lint for specific expressions or statements". It's definitely worth a try!
