I was curious about the implementation, and was surprised to find:

- they’re importing query files, with a .scm extension, in TypeScript

- they’re using esbuild to handle those imports

It’s surprising to me that the Microsoft, who created and maintains TypeScript, is using an alternative TypeScript compiler… in part to query semantic information from TypeScript.
