Could you build this?
Partial A basic Go linter can be built using existing AST tools, but designing a specialized, sound static analyzer specifically tuned to catch subtle LLM hallucination bugs and anti-patterns requires non-trivial static analysis experience.
What it would actually take: The analyzer builds on Go's `go/analysis` and `golang.org/x/tools/go/ssa` frameworks to perform abstract syntax tree parsing and control-flow / data-flow analysis. The difficult engineering challenge lies in defining sound heuristic checks that distinguish typical LLM errors (unhandled concurrency edge cases, nil pointer dereferences in generated scaffolding, invalid error-wrapping idioms) without generating high false positive rates. Doing this requires deep expertise in compiler theory and Go language semantics.
