treesitter-unit VS shell

It's also relatively easy to write plugins based on the parsed AST. I wrote treesitter-unit[1] making it easy to select/modify the subtree of the selection.

I built a plugin to select units of tree-sitter objects https://github.com/David-Kunz/treesitter-unit

To delete/yank the node, the combination would be `diu`, using this plugin: https://github.com/David-Kunz/treesitter-unit

Hi, I also think treesitter-textobjects are a bit overspecific, that's why I created https://github.com/David-Kunz/treesitter-unit/ .

In this video I create a Neovim plugin called 'treesitter-unit' using Lua. You can find the final plugin here: https://github.com/David-Kunz/treesitter-unit/

I tried it with operator mode maps and it works perfectly! I updated the README to include: vim.api.nvim_set_keymap('o', 'x', ':lua require"treesitter-unit".select()', {noremap=true})

On Unix, you might try Nim (https://nim-lang.org) with https://github.com/Vindaar/shell and there are a slew of pipeline-y/Unix-y utilities over at https://github.com/c-blake/bu

Nim is statically typed and (generally) native-compiled, but it has very low ceremony ergonomics and a powerful compile-time macro/template system as well as user-defined operators (e.g., you can use `+-` to make a constructor for uncertain values so that `9 +- 2` builds a typed object.

Well no language is perfect, but Nim can be used in almost every domain because of it's compilation targets(C, C++, JS) and it's fast compile times(who needs interpretation when compile times are that fast!):

* Shell scripting, I still assume most people will just use Bash tho: https://github.com/Vindaar/shell

* Frontend: https://github.com/karaxnim/karax or you could bind to an existing JS library.

* Backend: For something Flask-like: https://github.com/dom96/jester or something with more defaults https://github.com/planety/prologue

* Scientific computing: the wonderful SciNim https://github.com/SciNim

* Blockchain: Status has some of the biggest Nim codebases currently in production https://github.com/status-im?q=&type=&language=nim&sort=

* Gamedev: Also used in production: https://github.com/pragmagic/godot-nim and due to easy C and C++ interop, you get access to a lot of gamedev libraries!

* Embedded: this is a domain I know very little about but for example https://github.com/elcritch/nesper or https://github.com/PMunch/badger for fun Nim+embedded stuff!

Most of the disadvantages come from tooling and lack of $$$ support.
