Occasionally, @borkdude and I wonder if the parsing code could be shared more.
For example, rewrite-clj implemented parsing of new clojure 1.12 array class syntax, and then edamame did so too. What if we just implemented once in edamame and rewrite-clj took advantage of it?
Initial high-level thoughts:
pro: when rewrite-clj decides it needs a parsing update, we would implement it in edamame, and edamame would, therefore, also benefit
pro: some parsing tweaks are a bit complex, and dig into clojure tools reader internals. It could be nice to only implement this code once in one place.
pro: fix a parsing bug in edamame and rewrite-clj bumps and benefits.
pro: rewrite-clj could choose to take advantage of existing edamame features, like maybe reader conditional parsing and incomplete expression parsing
pro: borkdude is very involved in both projects, very reasonable, and lovely to work with
pro: lee would get a deep understanding of edamame
con: this new rewrite-clj dependency means folks could be including a different version of edamame, which could lead to some confusion
potential con: would this mean any (even minor) breaking changes to rewrite-clj? TBD
I've opened this issue to explore and track what it might mean to use edamame for parsing in rewrite-clj.
I'll experiment sometime soon to learn more about what issues we need to address, and if it still seems like a good idea, we can work out a plan.

Both edamame and rewrite-clj parse Clojure code.
Under the hood, they both use clojure tools reader.
