Very good points. Just to add a few more details on the LSP and VS Code side of things: - VS Code implements syntax-aware code folding using the LSP. This means that folding is super flexible but it is also makes computing folds fairly expensive. And every time the document changes, the language server has to re-compute and update the folds. In almost all cases, language servers is just generating folds based on the document's syntax anyways. Tree-sitter is interesting because it lets folding and other syntax based language features be calculated accurately and quickly on the client, freeing up the language server to do more interesting things (or just go to sleep for a moment). Document outlines are similar; VS Code uses the LSP for this but in many cases the same syntax derived outline could be generated by tree-sitter. - The LSP probab

ly isn't well suited to general syntax highlighting due to computation cost and communication chattiness concerns, but the LSP may eventually support semantic syntax highlighting [1]. This could, for example, allow an editor to color all singletons hotpink, which requires a semantic understanding of the code. Semantic highlighting would augment the base highlighting provided by tree-sitter or by a TextMate grammar. I'm the developer of VS Code's JavaScript/TypeScript and Markdown support, and am interested in tree-sitter if only in the hope the it will free us from TextMate grammars. If you want to see just how far regular expressions can be pushed, just go browsing through some of these bad boys; TypeScript's is a classic [2]. Keep up the great work Max!
