This is an experimental project built to understand the under-the-hood structure of parsers, tokenizers, and ASTs (Abstract Syntax Trees). The goal is to make everyday database lookups feel fast, intuitive, and less annoying.
You do need reasonably clear English, but you definitely don't need to be Shashi Tharoor. Simple, everyday words are all it takes.
Before:
SELECT *
FROM startups
WHERE founder_name LIKE 'sam%'
ORDER BY funding DESC;
After:
semanticql > show startups with founder_name starts with sam sort by funding desc
yes! that simple.
Contributions are welcome.
Star repo for future update :)
