The Landscape of Code Transformation Tools & Methods

I’ve just published a new reference resource: Code Transformation Tools Landscape on GitHub.

What Is It?

A visual guide that maps the ecosystem of code transformation and refactoring tools across two key dimensions:

  • Scale & Automation: How fast can we change things?
  • Structural & Semantic Understanding: How well do we understand what we are changing?

Why This Matters

Instead of framing tools in a binary “human vs. AI” way, this landscape helps you find the right refactoring approach for your specific context. Whether you need quick text replacements, structural code search, AI-assisted transformations, or semantic refactoring—this guide shows where each tool fits.
