combobulate VS commercial-emacs

Eh, I've been looking and haven't found anything for other editors that actually tries to use TreeSitter for anything beyond highlighting. The Emacs structural editing packages are still very WIP but at least they exist.

(And also some have been based on the out of tree implementation that's been around for a while now)

Example: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

Looking at https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate/blob/master/combobulate-python.el, it at the very least delegates to python-indent-calculate-levels, so the logic is mixed.

I went from an old config rich setups from before lsp's to lsp-mode ones etc... Right now I would say that eglot + pylsp gives you the best experience, you can use pyenv and pyvenv mode to manage your virtual environments. Now that treesitter is also being used you can try out https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I think the following packages would fit your wishlist, as it is very similar to mine. As mentioned in the replies, there is (https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el) and (https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate). I regularly use (https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens).

re syntactic text objects: https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

I haven't used it, but based on the description, it looks like combobulate would be an example of this:

from github README.rst "Emacs package that provides a standardized framework for manipulating and navigating your source code using tree sitter's concrete syntax tree " -> https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate

https://www.spacemacs.org/ with https://github.com/emacs-tree-sitter/elisp-tree-sitter then write a iterator/loop query for language(s) editing per https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/syntax-highlightin...

tad less installation heavy (sorta) but also makes use of tree-sitter syntax queries : https://www.lunarvim.org (neovim with treesitter syntax)

blockman usage examples: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5539gDeAdWqeXcczWuhnBA

Alternative examples / takes (per user interface):

### embedding a block of source code in a document:

  ** carrotsearch.gethub.io/apidocs/code-blocks

I don't know what this fork brings to table, but you could try tree-sitter today with your vanilla Emacs using a package[1] that works via dynamic module.

Personally I am more interested in getting structural selection and navigation reliably working for any language. There is also a package named combobulate[2] to help with that.

TIL https://github.com/mickeynp/combobulate Thank you, @snafuchs !

There is at least one Emacs fork on Github, but I don't see hordes of willing programmers flying towards it.

a link to a GitHub org and what appears to be a Star Trek quote is not really much to go on, so I might have overlooked something, but I assume you're referring to the tree-sitter.el file here?

FWIW, I have a couple of nnimap accounts with Gnus from commercial-emacs bd61a651d04d in GNU Emacs 0a8e88fd83db. I had to rule out syntax-ppss-invalidate-cache. Now doing gnus-group-get-new-news in a *Group* buffer doesn't lock (nor deadlock yet) Emacs for me.

https://shmelpa.commandlinesystems.com/ has a FAQ which explains the motivation.
