Exercism Analysis Library

What?

The goal of this library is to provide a platform for running static analysis across different programming languages for exercism.io

Why?

Static analysis is a cheap way of finding obvious structural issues with code. By combining strategies of linting and workflow analysis, this library provides suggestive feedback for improving code.

What's currently here?

Exercism-analysis provides a bridge to the following libraries:

• Javascript
  • JSHint
• Ruby
  • Roodi
• Python
  • Pylint

What is an analyzer?

An analyzer is a ruby object that responds to call, and returns an array of Exercism::Analyzer::Result objects. It has one argument adapter that can parse code and execute commands in the programming language's environment.

What is an adapter?

An adapter is a programming language specific ruby object that is initialized with source code. It responds to the following messages:

• ast: parses the code and returns a exercism-analysis compliant AST
• code: returns source code
• execute: executes code within programming language environment
