Building code intelligence, one MoonBit module at a time.
Cogna is a code analysis platform. Its initial goal was to build static analysis and search engines based on Code Property Graphs (CPG). This project is my learning exercise for MoonBit and compiler technology, and also marks my first (failed) attempt at Vibe Coding.
Compared to traditional programming, I encountered defect explosion and architectural decay much faster than usual — which led me to return to a hybrid approach combining Vibe Coding with classical software engineering.
Moving forward, I will draw on my own software engineering experience, using a hybrid approach of traditional programming + AI to build the Cogna platform from the ground up, one atomic piece at a time.
The next phase will focus on parkit. I aim to build a parser framework that is both educational and practical, supporting multiple grammar inputs and generator algorithms. It is not intended to be "yet another parser generator" — rather, it is meant to reveal the inner workings of various generators. At the same time, I want to reduce the friction developers face when learning to write parsers, and deliver an industry-leading developer experience (DX).

| Badge | Level | Description |
|---|---|---|
|
NotReady | Early / paused — skeleton structure, may have partial code but no active development yet |
 |
Alpha | Core functionality in place, early testing — may have breaking changes |
 |
Beta | Feature-complete with tests and CI — API stabilizing, ready for evaluation |
 |
Stable | Production-ready with releases, comprehensive testing, and documentation |
We're at the very beginning of this journey. Everything is NotReady — and that's okay!
