    The feature isn't working well yet on C and C++. If I recall correctly it's based on Tree-Sitter[1] parsing, and there are still too many bugs in corresponding grammars - tree-sitter-c[2] and tree-sitter-cpp[3]. Hopefully, it will be greatly improved in the future as the share of the existing and newly written code in C and C++ is quite significant.

    There's treesitter-cpp parser that works to some extent already. However, for complex language like c++, I think it would be better to use lsp's semantic highlighting instead

    Yes. It's typically a fair bit slower than a hand-coded parser. The idea sounds great until you're working on a codebase with 2 million LOC. At that point, the speed of a cold parse is most important, whereas TS is designed for fast re-parsing of a single file. These aren't great numbers but the Rust TS parser is reportedly 2x slower than rustc's https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-rust. It's no surprise that you just use the faster option if it's convenient.

    I'll be really interested to see what folks end up preferring once nvim 0.5 ships with treesitter support. Do folks have any experience with the Rust grammar?

What are some alternatives?

When comparing tree-sitter-cpp and tree-sitter-rust you can also consider the following projects:

nvim-cmp - A completion plugin for neovim coded in Lua.

coc.nvim - Nodejs extension host for vim & neovim, load extensions like VSCode and host language servers.

difftastic - a structural diff that understands syntax 🟥🟩

rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs

nvim-dap - Debug Adapter Protocol client implementation for Neovim

nvim-treesitter - Nvim Treesitter configurations and abstraction layer

git-split-diffs - Syntax highlighted side-by-side diffs in your terminal

tree-sitter-graphql - Treesitter grammar for GraphQL

diffsitter - A tree-sitter based AST difftool to get meaningful semantic diffs

LanguageClient-neovim - Language Server Protocol (LSP) support for vim and neovim.

null-ls.nvim - Use Neovim as a language server to inject LSP diagnostics, code actions, and more via Lua.

rust-analyzer - A Rust compiler front-end for IDEs [Moved to: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer]
