Re: tree-sitter and emacs-devel

[Jorge Javier Araya Navarro]

I'll stick with emacs-devel anyway and keep contributing to emacs-tree-sitter too jaja.

it is demoralizing indeed, but it is more not bringing Emacs to the XXI century. We can do incremental changes after testing how this thing works —not need to discuss what is and what is not a premature optimization—, Emacs maintainers can help by making sure major GNU/Linux distributions ship Emacs with dynamic module feature turned on so the work done on this side can be rapidly adopted by the community; what's done wrong can be revisited later.

FWIW, re-reading over the discussions around emacs-tree-sitter of the
last few days, I must say I'm not proud: if I were a contributor to
tree-sitter and/or emacs-tree-sitter, all this squabbling over how
tree-sitter "should" work (from people who have not been involved in
either of those and don't have any practical experience of how it
performs or why it's designed that way) would make me run away screaming
and promising myself never to come back to that mad house.

The worst part for me is to realize that I was mostly on the side of the
backseat drivers :-(
