Checkout tree-sitter

Have barely looked at it, but it seems like tree-sitter/tree-sitter does everything I aimed for (and struggled with) when building Chromatism (Incremental parsing e.t.c).

Perhaps a swift wrapper could be possible.

Sadly grammars appear to require compiling though.

Adding this issue here as a personal reminder.

Have got tree-sitter up and running, and its really really fast. Could see myself incorporating here in the future. Language support is really limited and it seems really experimental (can only get c language) to work, so it cannot be a replacement for Chromatism yet.

Also while I'm at it, concerning the future of this library which has been floating in limbo for a while: I think it could have a niche in the middleground between performance and language support. As Chromatism is regex based, the grammars of js syntax highlighters should be convertible.
