It is often these C files which are considered as the Tree-sitter parser. Many Tree-sitter parsers are available [1]. For example, Bash [2]. The grammar is described by ’grammar.js’ [3] and then using it, the file ’src/parser.c’ [4] is generated (note the size 3.46MB!). Then, using this file ’src/parser.c’ is generated a library which is called by the editor tool (say Emacs tree-sitter [5]). I am not aware if someone has tried to rebuild using Guix only from the grammar.js to a working tree-sitter editing experience. Well, considering the state of Node.js and Guix, it appears to me difficult to debootstrap. And maybe, we should accept a large unverified seed for Tree-sitter. Well, I do not know. What people think? What do we do with Tree-sitter? 1: <https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/> 2: <https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash> 3: <https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/grammar.js> 4: <https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-bash/blob/master/src/parser.c> 5: <https://emacs-tree-sitter.github.io/> Cheers, simon
