Incremental Parsing with emacs-tree-sitter- Questions
summary
Emacs tree-sitter integration is a dynamic module that already parses incrementally but suffers performance hits because Emacs copies buffer to string for reads, provoking frequent GC; the parser itself is C so it avoids lisp garbage-collection latency. It exposes a base minor mode for highlighting and incremental AST updates, Python mode is used at work, TypeScript/TSX integration is incomplete, a debug view showing matched source is TODO, in-buffer refactorings are doable but project-wide refactors need a project-aware model.
