Parsing (use of rather than theory) matters as it affects my work. So I followed up.

See https://youtu.be/Jes3bD6P0To

Tree sitter is based on LR parsing (see 23:30 in above video) extended to GLR parsing (see 38:30).

I've had enough of fools on HN posting unverified crap to make themselves feel cool and knowledgeable (and don't kid yourself that you helped me find the right answer by posting the wrong one). Time I withdrew. Goodbye HN.

I'm not sure what you think you're refuting but Tree Sitter definitely does some different stuff to allow recoverable parsing.
