    2 projects | /r/neovim | 18 Jun 2022
    How can we add different highlight for __dunder__ methods a.k.a. magic methods? Is there a TS highlight group for that? I know that in tree-sitter-python there is pythonTSConstructor for __init__ method that I can customize, but I couldn't figure out for other magic methods.

  • Topiary: A code formatting engine leveraging Tree-sitter
    3 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 20 May 2023
    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?
