Abstract

This section covers tree-sitter: design philosophy, architecture, usage, and applications.

Problem:

• IDEs (visual studio, sublime text) used regexes for syntax features before tree-sitter.
• This caused inconsistent highlighting, fragility, poor performance.

Solution: Tree-sitter provides fast, accurate, incremental parsing for editors and IDEs.
