I really enjoy keeping an eye on how hare is doing. From haging out on the various hare-XXX IRC channels, a lot is going on.
This latest tool, hare-update, is a really fascinating approach to dealing with an issue most language designers leave to the compiler to dump the problem onto the programmer.
The way hare-update works has similarities to smpl (Semantic Patch Language) which is what #coccinelle uses:

I mentioned this to Drew, and he's aware -- but I think given the problem domain, the way hare-update works is probably fine for not making hare-update coccinelle-aware, as it were.
I wonder if other languages have an approach similar to hare-update?
