lunarymacs VS evil-textobj-tree-sitter

He's also behind expand-region! (Although, I've started experimenting with the much-smaller treesitter-based https://github.com/casouri/lunarymacs/blob/master/site-lisp/...)

I'm pretty sure when he wrote all of that stuff that he'd only been using Emacs for around a year. The benefit of someone that talented, or groks Emacs immediately, and is familiar enough with the outside-ecosystem to know what he wants to borrow, I suppose.

I'm also a diehard expand-region user! I believe a less precise but super simple command is better than a precise but complicated one. IMO expand-region > text objects, forward/backward-sexp/word > avy / other fancy navigation tool. But I digress. For tree-sitter aware expand-region, this is what I'm using: https://github.com/casouri/lunarymacs/blob/master/site-lisp/expreg.el

You can find my attempt here, I used some ad-hoc parsing instead of regexp, and I didn't use font-lock. https://github.com/casouri/lunarymacs/blob/master/site-lisp/info-pretty.el

You may be aware but the author of TFA also has a tree-sitter based minor mode called Combobulate for exactly that:

https://www.masteringemacs.org/article/combobulate-structure...

There is also evil-textobj-tree-sitter for tree-sitter based text objects for Evil mode:

https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

here are the structural editing tools, and they're great - https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

evil-mode users already have options, and there seems to be a new package with general applicability too.

evil-textobj-tree-sitter: provides new textobjects to evil-mode, thanks to treesitter

I have a package which lets you target language level constructs like functions, classes, conditionals etc for text objects using tree-sitter. This is specific to evil mode as of now, though making it work outside evil would not be that big an effort. https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

Other than combobulate, these packages also use tree-sitter for changing code (not just highlighting): * https://codeberg.org/FelipeLema/tree-sitter-indent.el * https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter

not lsp, treesitter is the way to go. lsp does not provide AST ATM. There is already https://github.com/meain/evil-textobj-tree-sitter . As a side note, smartparens work on non-lispy code. I am very happy with using in combination with evil-cleverparens.
