As soon as you said tree sitter I immediately understood. Yes, I can’t believe I never realized that you could totally build a syntax-aware VCS on top of it. That’s brilliant.

I just wrote a language parser a few months ago in tree sitter and it’s probably the most delightful software I’ve used apart from ffmpeg.

The endless capabilities of ffmpeg are delightful indeed, but its use? Forgive me but what are you smoking?
