Managing the parsers yourself is fairly easy and could rely on running the tree-sitter CLI in each parser repo to build them. Other options exists like installing via Nix.

And in a similar vein, if queries (.scm files) were hosted in each parser repo, it would also be fairly easy to handle.

I think it’s the latter part with the query files that is the challenge here.

Re:Going immutable on macOS, using Nix-Darwin on Friday January 02, 2026 @04:50AM (#46463185)
I’m using nix to set up both my dev laptop (macOS) but also my self-hosting/homelab (NixOS). It works really well, and nice to have one way to set stuff up. And they are both synced up with the stuff I want to be mirrored across systems.
I’m liking pkgx over asdf as it can activate project tooling upon cd’ing into a project folder.

https://pkgx.sh

The idea of a package like this was born from having gotten security vulnerability reports about production dependencies (shipped into production) which turned out to not not even be in use.

The goal would be to be able to run this tool in CI, which will catch cases where the developer forgets to remove unused dependencies. An example of such a case could be when doing refactorings.

This seems like a great tool. I’m personally hooked on the https://graphite.dev CLI and would just like to mention it for comparison.

The service seems very flaky right now. Even the unicorn isn't loading properly.
There's also https://tapiriik.com for syncing.
