I was looking for some treesitter rescript support and even considering contributing back, until I saw the grammar.js file and the C code required to make it happen
Just wanted to thank you for making this!
😄 Thank you! God, bless open source and its contributors as well. Without all the code I was able to pick here and there as a template or an example I doubt I could make the grammar. And the help of community contributors is invaluable as well.
Oh, and your message made me recall that I’ve totally forgot to tag & publish recent fixes as a new version. Done. Thank you =)
I also want to sum to the blessings. This is nice to have, the syntax highlighting is soo much better.
There seems to be also a reason tree sitter syntax, but it misses a proper wrapper like this.
Would you mind sharing the steps you followed to write this plugin? I would like to give a try wrapping the reason tree-sitter one:

Thanks :)
Steps were, basically: take an existing parser source (I‘ve chosen JavaScript repo for some reason) and adapt it to own needs :)
Please, note this is a technical repo. Besides a boilerplate plugin config it only contains artifacts from the main development repo. I’m not sure whether it was a good idea to separate artifacts in such way or not, but it is how things happened.
In summary:
- Get the most similar parser and use it as a base
- The most tricky part might be implementing low-lever scanner in C or C++, so use a base language with similar concepts as yours (comments, whitespace)
- Then add tests, adjust
grammar.js, repeat until you satisfied
Just forked your repo. Knowing that I already found all the artifacts you mentioned, and that this repo is just a wrapper, it looks like an easy task.
I'll let you know how good it goes if I success.
