I was wondering why they didn't use tree-sitter since this sounds very similar to tree-sitter, tree-sitter is written in C (and thus hopefully faster than a similar project written in TypeScript), and there's even officially support wasm build steps for if you need to run it in the browser. The linked blog post [0] answered my question though: > Unfortunately, tree-sitter is written in C, which is still awkward to run in the browser (and CodeMirrror targets non-WASM browsers). It also generates very hefty grammar files because it makes the size/speed trade-off in a different way than a web system would.
