cmd/cue: import/export (go|rust|...) about cue HOT 3 CLOSED

I wonder if there is a way to use tree-sitter , given all the language grammars that have accumulated there.

There looks to be an unofficial Go binding here: https://github.com/smacker/go-tree-sitter

I'm going to guess that "tree-standing" (for export) won't work out well after exploring some of the grammars. We'd probably need to define a language format (in CUE of course :) for generation. Maybe that format maps onto the tree-sitter grammar, but it looks to be quite complicated due to the widely varied syntax across languages.

For import (currently cue get go) we need type information for Go, and suspect we would for every other language: syntax by itself would not be enough (unless I misunderstood what you were suggesting, or am missing a piece in the puzzle here with respect to tree sitter?). For export I'm not sure of the need for a common format - we simply need to take convert from CUE API values (already well defined) to a target language (could be as simple as fmt.Printf calls, could use text/template, could use an AST for the language...)
