First up, thanks for dedicating a big chunk of your life to building tree-sitter! I had a go making a similar parser last year (fast, dynamic-grammar, self-correcting) and had to give up when I started to realize what a ludicrously complex undertaking this is. The fact that tree-sitter works at all is nothing short of amazing.

Question: do you have any plans to integrate tree-sitter with the language-server project(s)? If fast, accurate parsing of any programming language is now easily implemented in language servers via tree-sitter, it seems to make sense for LSP to expand its protocol to include syntax highlighting as well.

Thanks for the kind words!

I haven't specifically pursued integration with LSP, but Tree-sitter has been used to build a couple of language servers which work with both VSCode and Atom (and probably other editors):

* Bash - https://github.com/mads-hartmann/bash-language-server * Ruby - https://github.com/rubyide/vscode-ruby/tree/master/server

Yes! The state of parsing is such a sad thing, discouraging so much other progress, that it's wonderful to have it improving. It's appreciated.

EDIT: And my thanks for all your guidance this evening. Good night.
