This is VERY VERY interesting... I'm one of the people you maintains the VSCode Puppet extension, and there seems to be some nice cross over here. (I see you develop using VSCode so hopefully you're aware of it :-) )
In particular offering a GUI experience to modifying Hiera data, combined with the work we've done in undestanding control repos and puppet manifests. Also, it looks like you made a Puppet AST parser in Javascript which is awesome. One of my goals would be to create a "NodeJS only" puppet extension (Cut down version from the full extension) so it could be used by products like coder.com and one of things I'm missing is a tokeniser/ast for Puppet language I'll be poking around the codebase for a while and see where we can integrate this! Thanks, Glenn.
