Hey guys, I've been working on a CLI tool which searches for out of sync comments in your projects using the git history of your project. It's built in rust, and I plan to support most mainstream languages with it.

Curious on your guys' opinions, if you find this useful. Any feedback is appreciated.

Nice! I would run it over some of my Python and JavaScript codebases if those languages were supported!

The name "resync" is very generic and misleading (because the program doesn't sync anything).

HN don’t like CLIs I guess.

Makes me think of https://rubystyle.guide/#comments

I think both. Comments are nice sometimes.

I can think of a number of multi-million line codebases that would benefit from PHP support…

Nice idea! You should give more details about the algorithm in the Readme.

Also I would imagine this is something that fancy large language models are pretty good at!

What it does:

"...it tries to only show you places where the function has been updated a lot, but the comment hasn't."

I pressed on the link that is the documentation to support more languages, but I got a 404.
