🚀 Open Pull Requests (needs review)

#75 — Add i18n specification

A comprehensive i18n specification doc has been drafted in specs/i18n/i18n-spec.md by Copilot, based on issue #74. It recommends a full-replacement approach for AI-driven translation. Ready for review! 🌍

#71 — Support YAML as format for patterns (by @hallvard)

A community contribution proposing YAML as an alternative to JSON for pattern definitions — multiline code blocks are much cleaner in YAML. Related to issue #70. Worth discussing the tradeoffs!

#69 — Fix ligature rendering for Java operators (by @hallvard)

Fixes issue #68 where -> and != were being rendered as Unicode ligatures (→, ≠) — which look great but aren't valid Java syntax! A CSS fix to disable font ligatures in code blocks.

🐛 Open Issues

#74 — Plan architectural change for i18n

Opened today to kick off i18n planning. Specs are being drafted in ./specs/i18n. This is a significant future investment — great to see it moving forward! 🌐

#70 — Support YAML for pattern files (by @hallvard)

Community request for YAML as a more ergonomic source format for patterns. Already has a companion PR #71 — this pair deserves a decision soon.

#68 — Operators rendered as special Unicode characters (by @hallvard)

Bug reported by the community: font ligatures turning ->, != into non-Java symbols. PR #69 has a fix ready to merge!
