Thanks for another update. Nice to know you're still moving along with
improvements there. Perhaps we could continue with general discussions
about Gremlint while we wait for legal issues to settle? For instance, one
of the things on my mind is how to make gremlint functionality as available
as possible to the various use cases we say each day. Obviously, it
currently handles the most common one of providing a place to paste some
Gremlin in a UI and get back formatted Gremlin. What about other things:

1. there are many Gremlin "development environments (e.g. gremlify, Gremlin
Console, notebooks, etc) - how can gremlint be available to them?
2. we are working on Gremlin translators in all languages - which might
actually allow us to generate documentation using a single source for
Gremlin with translation to all the others. But, that can only work if we
have something like Gremlint to format those translations. How would
gremlint fit in there?
3. gremlint (i think) is generally good at formatting the Groovy/Java
syntax - what will it entail to make it so that it's capable of dealing
with other languages like Python, .NET etc.
4. thinking more about 2, I wonder how gremlint fits with translators. the
two seem quite related to me, but i'm not sure what that means. it seems
cool if you could take a bit of Gremlin Groovy, paste it into gremlint then
translate/lint to Gremlin Javascript.

I'm just posing questions here for us to discuss a bit. Answers are great
but more questions would also be welcome if anyone has any.
