What does HackerNews think of semantic?
Parsing, analyzing, and comparing source code across many languages
Language:
Haskell
Github is using GHC to analyze source code, that might be why they're sponsoring.
One production example I know: GitHub code navigation is written in Haskell https://github.com/github/semantic
ah, easy. it's because support has not been added into https://github.com/github/semantic which is the tech that powers the GitHub UI. Adding support is pretty easy/mainly glue code [1] that imports the tree sitter API.
[1] https://github.com/github/semantic/blob/793a876ae45d38a6bd17...
I believe they use semantic (Haskell program that uses tree-sitter) for navigation: https://github.com/github/semantic
So the answer may be that semantic does not yet have support for the language in question.
There are lots of popular, mature, and awesome Haskell projects:

GitHub uses Haskell for all its code analyzation, so you're interacting with it all the time! => https://github.com/github/semantic
Meanwhile their Tree-Sitter-based semantic parser[1] looks abandoned. There is even rotting for years pull request[2] adding support of the same stack graphs into it.
is this from Github semantic (https://github.com/github/semantic)?
Seems very suspicious since it’s the same goal using the same technologies. The latest commit is 4mo ago but i assume they have a closed-source version they’ve been working on.
