The post starts by reflecting on learning âfor realâ with AI, joking about how programming documentation can still feel like gibberish even when written by a machine, and then introduces the authorâs new project: an ASTâbased JavaScript syntax highlighter called Squirrel PieâŻ2.0 that renders code in a Web Component using Acorn for true semantic understanding; after explaining its technical approach, the author playfully celebrates squirrelsâcalling them acrobats, planners, and memory mastersâto justify the libraryâs name and to encourage readers to adopt, name, or otherwise cheer for their local squirrels while sharing the tool. The post ends with a whimsical summary that Squirrel Pie is both a useful highlighter and a small tribute to these clever rodents.
