  • neos Universal Compiler and Tree-sitter

    Hi!

    Interestingly whilst my project, neos (the universal compiler that can
    compile any programming language) is still a WIP I have already
    implemented functionality equivalent to what Tree-sitter provides: mapping between AST and original source code so you can do things such as syntax highlighting in a code editor.
