I'm working on tagging, but I have a question.

Semantic currently only tracks function definitions and references, no ordinary variables. But in a functional language, that can be a difficult (and without type checker even impossible) distinction to make. So there are two options

• only track easily recognizable functions
• treat all variables as functions and track everything

What is the best option for now?

@314eter FYI, though this patch is still valuable for our long-term work, the fastest way to unblock tagging is to use the tree-sitter query API, like how Ruby and friends do it: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-ruby/blob/master/queries/tags.scm. Our new internal systems are bypassing Semantic for the simple syntax-based tagging, so it might be a better use of your time to start there.

Note that due to database capacity concerns on our side, tagging (via tree-sitter queries or Haskell-side stuff) will take a while to arrive for any new language—however, we really appreciate the work you’re putting in!

Re. the questions about tagging, that’s a good question. Maybe @robrix has some thoughts?

Ok, I'll start with the tree-sitter queries then, thanks.

If you have database capacity concerns, the second approach will generate much more data.

1. Seems Bazel CI job stuck
2. Had been there any updates since? I see there are regular updates in tree-sitter-ocaml and queries already supported. Should be this PR updated too then?
