  https://fasterthanli.me/articles/my-gift-to-the-rust-docs-te... is a better link (the author's article about this rather than the artifact produced)

  I'm currently building an online 3D-Editor that supports OpenSCAD and Python as the input language.The ease of use to highlight static text via Arborium seems nice: <script src="arborium.iife.js"></script> <pre><code class="language-python"> def hello(name): print("Hello " + name); </code></pre> But does it support editing highlighted text? If not, one would have to do some trickery by hiding a textarea and updating the <code> element on each keypress, I guess. Which probably has a thousand corner cases one would have to deal with.And how would one add SCAD support?

  If you haven't tried building a grammar with tree-sitter, I highly recommend you do so. It's incredibly fun once you get into a flow state. The docs call it a zen-like experience, and that's a perfect way to describe it. It's so, so good.

  I've been toying around with tree-sitter and have seen the potential for a proper, non-regex based highlighter. It's really powerful because it actually parses the text into an AST. With the AST it's possible for example to make variables the same colour everywhere. A function passed as a parameter could be highlighted as a function even in the parameter list.I'm happy to see that tree sitter highlighting on the web is finally a thing. This seems really solid although the bundle size is a lot.

  The sponsorships achieved by the author is admirable - they really make a lot of valuable oss.https://github.com/sponsors/fasterthanlime

  I had to wait for about 10 seconds for it to load on my crappy mobile connection.They also load 1 mb of fonts. In total, this page is close to 3 mb.Also, when you select a language, the grammar file gets downloaded twice.

  Treesitter is fantastic. It has builtin support in nvim, and there are a lot of plugins that make use of it.My favorite is nvim-treesitter-textobjects which gives you dozens of new targets for vim motions, such as a function call or the condition of a loop.

  Tree-sitter:Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited.

  This is cool! How does it compares with Shiki or Highlighter.js in terms of performance?

  Great project, I really love tree-sitter, recently I added a ini variant config profile support to my app, and just use gemini to write a grammar and combine it with another great project called runestone to support highlight the config profile, the total progress is quite smooth.

  Sorry, but I can't understand what this actually is. A library, a stand-alone tool, a Rust crate? What users does it target? Text editors, website creators?

  The get started section seems to be broken or missing content.

  This is cool, was looking for something similar
