Tree-sitter grammar for the language.

I don't actively maintain this anymore. I'll just be merging pull requests for now, but someone should really write a simpler one, this is pretty much a mess.

For anyone who wants to start writing one from scratch, here are some things to consider:

  • The biggest one would be split identifiers (e.g. this_is_split_for\ _alignment), which are present pretty much everywhere in the modules shipped with the compiler. To parse them, you have to do it in scanner.c. And if you parse them in C, you have to handle all keywords (and perhaps the compiler declarations) in C as well.
  • It should also be simpler. For the purpose of angry fruit salad highlighting, this should be more of a lexer with minimal context awareness rather than a full blown parser. This is especially true for a language that is still in beta and is constantly changing it's syntax or adding/removing features.
