I use neovim, the tree-sitter support is great especially with nvim-treesitter which means I can just run `TSInstall <parser name>` and I'm done. Writing a tree-sitter parser is not that easy though. I wrote tree-sitter-templ to parse templ files and I still have a hard time identifying some parsing errors, especially since I had to implement a custom external scanner which in my experience was the source of a lot of bugs.

It's not easy, but after a while it does become somewhat meditative. I think the TypeScript nature of it helps a lot. I picked up Neovim at my last job and got a decent start on a Tree-sitter parser off hours for the WinSCP batch programming language of all things. But then I couldn't get it to actually install correctly into Neovim, and I switched jobs before I figured it out. :( EDIT: actually, hey, your instructions on installing are really clear! I wonder if I can use them here to help guide me again. It was really cool, though!
