## What it is
Barliman is a prototype smart text editor that performs real-time program synthesis using relational interpreters. Given tests and a partially-specified function definition, it attempts to guess code that passes the tests or prove consistency/inconsistency between definitions and tests.

## Use cases
- synthesize scheme code from examples and tests
- check if a function definition is consistent with test cases
- experiment with program synthesis and relational interpreters
- define custom programming languages with their own syntax and semantics
- live coding assistant that fills in partially written functions

## When to choose
- you want a production-ready IDE or polished UI
- you need synthesis for side-effectful or large-scale programs
- you need broad language support out of the box

## Facets
- artifact type: application
