Incremental Parsing in Go
Look at the current Makefile:
https://github.com/aretext/aretext/blob/main/Makefile
Build is literally a `go build ...` and install is `go install`. Adding any other language to the mix would make this a polyglot project and not be "equally easy to set up". The other question is, do both parsers exist? In this write-up they point to tree-sitter as a possibility which is a JS program that produces C code. This would be viable, but here's the author's take:
> I considered integrating tree-sitter, an incremental parsing library with parsers for many existing languages. However, running JavaScript to generate parsers and linking to a C library would have greatly complicated the build process. Today, aretext can be built on almost any platform using a single go install command. I’ve had users install aretext on ARM laptops, FreeBSD servers, Chromebooks, and Android phones. To maintain portability, I wanted a pure Go implementation.
So this wasn't some casual decision, but something they at least considered long enough to describe here.
And the parsing library itself is only around 1200 lines total (comments, blanks, and code). The parsers for each language add a lot more, of course, but should be roughly equivalent given the same library and interface. I imagine that if this project really takes off and performance becomes a real problem they can do the rewrite at that point. Right now, the code works, seems to work fast enough for its author and primary users, and it's trivial to install on any platform supported by Go. So yes, it would have been a premature optimization to complicate the build process, probably reduce the number of supported platforms (or greatly increase the effort to support the same number of platforms), just to have a slightly faster parser.
