Show HN: I made a utility I named pmake to generate project files
My code works but it could probably be improved. Something I'm worried about is this part of the code
printf ' ;;; Directory Local Variables -*- no-byte-compile: t -*- ;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables") (setq flycheck-gcc-include-path "'$indir'") ' > .dir-locals.el It generates a .dir-locals.el file that forces flycheck (an emacs package) to look inside the include directory inside the project folder.
I'm a little worried about whether setq is the right approach. Any help would be appreciated!

Ask HN: Open-source alternatives to enterprise-grade code indexing/RAG systems?
I've been exploring various AI coding assistants (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Devin, etc.) and noticed they all share a common foundation: sophisticated retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems that enable deep understanding of codebases. These systems excel at:
- Rapidly indexing entire codebases
- Semantic search across code snippets
- Contextual ranking of relevant code sections
- Integration with LLMs for enhanced code understanding
While proprietary solutions are abundant, I'm looking for open-source alternatives that could provide similar functionality. Specifically:
- Tools for building and maintaining code indexes
- Systems that can integrate with existing LLMs
- Solutions for semantic code search and retrieval
- Frameworks for contextual code understanding
Has anyone built or worked with open-source tools that could serve as building blocks for such a system? I'm particularly interested in hearing about:
- Real-world implementations
- Performance comparisons with commercial solutions
- Scalability considerations
- Integration challenges
The goal is to understand what's possible with current open-source technology in this space, and potentially contribute to building more accessible alternatives to proprietary systems.
