// Package language provides an interface for language extensions in Gazelle.
// Support for a new language can be added by defining a package with a
// function named "New" that returns a value assignable to this interface.
//
// TODO(jayconrod): document how to incorporate languages into a gazelle
// binary that can be run by Bazel.

// Language describes an extension for Gazelle that provides support for
// a set of Bazel rules.
//
// Languages are used primarily by the fix and update commands. The order
// in which languages are used matters, since languages may depend on
// one another. For example, go depends on proto, since go_proto_libraries
// are generated from metadata stored in proto_libraries.
//
// A single instance of Language is created for each fix / update run. Some
// state may be stored in this instance, but stateless behavior is encouraged,
// especially since some operations may be concurrent in the future.
//
// # Tasks languages are used for
//
// * Configuration (embedded interface config.Configurer). Languages may
// define command line flags and alter the configuration in a directory
// based on directives in build files.
//
// * Fixing deprecated usage of rules in build files.
//
// * Generating rules from source files in a directory.
//
// * Resolving library imports (embedded interface resolve.Resolver). For
// example, import strings like "github.com/foo/bar" in Go can be resolved
// into Bazel labels like "@com_github_foo_bar//:go_default_library".
//
// # Tasks languages support
//
// * Generating load statements: languages list files and symbols that may
// be loaded.
//
// * Merging generated rules into existing rules: languages provide metadata
// that helps with rule matching, merging, and deletion.
