Tree sitter is absurdly complicated to use in a real project, a hand written parser might be slower but it's way easier to implement and build.

- eyelidlessness 5y agoI haven’t used it in a real project yet, but I’ve tried it out for a few project ideas, and haven’t found it complicated to use. I’m not necessarily saying it isn’t ever complicated, but I was able to knock out a couple proofs of concept in a few hours. My only complaint so far is that the sexpr representation lacks some details, but I have no problem with working around that.
