    I attempted to use this but was disheartened but the fact that it doesn't statically type node names. Tree Sitter doesn't either but it has much more of an excuse given that it targets C.

    The dev seems mildly hostile to outside involvement too, so I moved on. These days I use Chumsky which is Rust rather than Typescript, but also way more awesome, if you can deal with the often incomprehensible compilation errors at least!

    Treesitter is not JS (although the Wasm version can be used from JS). Lezer (https://github.com/lezer-parser/lezer) is similar (it was inspired by Treesitter) and is written in TS.
