>> I?m curious whether you can comment on any other tools for other programming languages.

How do you think about to take another look at issues like the following?


> Coccinelle doesn't support any languages other than C, and a small amount of C++.

Support C++ codebases
https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/1

How many design elements can be shared for programming languages
which have got similar properties?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procedural_programming


> For C++, it parses the C-like parts of the code, and ignores the rest.

Exclusion of unsupported source code parts
https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle/issues/20

Class libraries for software components
