> Storing the AST on the disk in a million files is not necessarily the best use of the filesystem

A new codebase format just uses a sqlite database instead of a million files

> Since the language is append only, all edits look like additions in version control

Traditional methods of showing change in verson control, that is text diffs, don't make sense here anyway
