[00:05:09] Kevin gives us a brief introduction of himself.

[00:07:33] Kevin tells us about the grant he received, and he tells us about rubyfmt and SyntaxTree.

[00:12:27] We learn why you have to do plugins in your language and why Kevin is convinced we need a new parser for Ruby.

[00:16:43] Jason wonders if prettier was Kevin’s first introduction to parsers and how he got so knowledgeable about it.

[00:17:50] Find out about Kevin’s blog post on ripper, which he calls a “very confusing library.”

[00:19:08] With the work Kevin is doing with ripper, the work he’s doing with SyntaxTree, and the grant, Jason wonders if he sees SyntaxTree getting adopted by Ruby Core one day or live as a standalone project.

[00:20:58] We find out with SyntaxTree, if Kevin has a specific Ruby version he targets or because it’s built on ripper can he just keep going back to Ruby.
