Glean - Data about Code

Explore a presentation from YOW! 2022 by Simon Marlow, Software Engineer at Meta, on Glean - an open-source system for storing and querying information about code at scale. Discover how Glean provides an efficient system for storing arbitrary strongly-typed data and tools for working with it, enabling the creation of IDE integration, code search and browsing tools, code analysis tools, and ad-hoc tooling that requires accurate semantic information about code. Learn about the potential of having accurate semantic information about your code available through a rich query language that produces results in milliseconds, even at large scale. Gain insights into how Glean can offer information not just about the files you're working on, but the entire stack in which your code lives. Delve into the capabilities of Glean, including its indexers for several languages, and understand its potential impact on software development and code analysis.
