Is there any *general* way that we can make fontification more robust and consistent? For years and years now, I've been thinking we just need more deterministic parser-and-based mode support, and I still think that, but on a realistic level, that doesn't seem to be coming any time soon.Full agreement. And not only for C and C-like languages, IMO. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-01/msg00059.html See also Eglot and LSP. Patches more than welcome, I think having this (whether tree-sitter or some other similar technology) in core is long overdue.
We could just vendor tree-sitter.
