Why does tree sitter sound like an insult
Treeshitter
I stop before continuing watching. Thank God for having you. I want to know more about this treesitter. I hope we have series for treesitter.
hoping to do longer video later, will take some time to put together
@@teej_dv if only you would do a long length video about tree sitter, feels like you did though, like recently, ehhhh......guess not, must be losing it....BLAZINGLY CRAZY!
Your videos are impressive. I think the value comes from explaining one topic so one understands, how it works on an intuitive level while keeping the video short.
I never comment on any CZcams videos.... but damn, this video was really great. Not only did you talk about an interesting topic but also explained it extremely well.
Please keep on releasing more of these videos. We need content creators like you.
I'm really jealous about the way this guy expresses ideas and concepts. Huge, huge fan!
Great stuff, keep it up your kickstart vid has helped me out a lot on getting back into Neovim fully.
Thanks!! glad to hear it :)
Haskell slander aside, this was amazing! I can't believe how much of ts you explained, along with giving clear usecases and examples right into vim. Thanks for putting this out!
The quality of each video you put out just gets better and better. Thank you!
I actually used tree-sitter in a project a while ago making a LS for a DSL. It worked pretty well and had auto-complete, hover, signature help, and syntax error highlights. However, tree-sitter's error recovery ability still remains a problem to make it a viable tool for creating LSs.
Followed after the LSP video, and now I get this! The top quality explainers just keep coming! Thanks TJ!
Bless you for your fantastic explainers and all your work on Neovim. Huge fan!
This makes a lot more sense now. Really like how you break things down in a simple way. It makes it a lot easier to understand concepts.
Great video, thanks!!! Just the right amount of depth and standing while presenting was extra engaging!
You really have a great way of explaining things in a way that anyone can understand, even beginners like myself - this was very interesting and informative, looking forward to the next explainer
Great video TJ! really enjoy how you break everything down, makes it easy to understand and learn
These videos are really great TJ, please keep them coming!
I would love a more in depth video on writing grammar, and more specific scanner. Been diving into writing grammars lately and so appreciate the content!
ya, might do longer video of this later -- will have to be way longer haha
I didn't know tree-sitter uses JDSL, Tom is indeed a genius
TJ you're my new favorite youtuber/content creator. I really hope the full time thing works out for you, good luck. Definitely need more videos like these. Also now I hope you are able finish the interpreter in OCaml series one day :D
Pulled me in with the trees in the thumbnail, stayed for the solid explanations. Thanks man!
I really love this new wave of content from you champ 👍🏻
Godlike TJ, well done once again with the explanations, more of this!
First time in my life I feel like I understand what treesitter is. Hats off!
TJ your presentations skill is a masterpiece
Love this video. Recently had to edit the grammar for a semi-obscure language as it was missing features and loved how simple it was. I mean it still took me 4 hours because I didn't know anything about tree-sitter but I wish I saw this video before then, it would have been so much help! Keep it up!
Incredible. Cleared up a ton of confusion for me. Thank you!
What blows my mind is that it downloads some C files, COMPILES THEM and then runs them nice and fast and natively. Great stuff
This was dense. I'll be honest, a lot of it went right over my head as I'm starting to learn now, but I hope to return in time and realize it all makes sense 😅.
Great content, I love the educational stuff. Keep it up.
You're a truly gifted teacher among your many other talents.
Man your explanation sound great! Keep going!
Really cool video. Thank you for showing us behind the curtain!
i am loving these videos. really great info!
Man this is dope. I never thought to try to understand LSPs and the parsers powering them. It was all just magic.
This is a great explainer on Treesitter. I used Atom in the past, switched to Vim then Neovim. I knew what treesitter did inside neovim, and heard that it is the best one at its job but never really understood what is soo good about it.
Nice stuff. You explain things really well.
Amazing stuff Teej, keep it up!
Thanks :) :)
This was awesome. Thanks for the explanations!
I still don't really know what I can do with tree-sitter, but now I know what and how it does this thing in Neovim : great knowledge sharing, thanx :-)
Thank you Teej for this, turns out i actually had no idea what treesitter actually did... keep it up!
This guy is a machine!! Def much better than that netflix-btw-guy
who ends his streams thinking we know his name))
Great job man! Keep up the good work!
Thanks :)
Future Nile will admire you more than anyone.
Great video.
Ignore the spelling mistakes if any.
You are a good human, TJ.
Great video, thank you, TJ!
Great video and explanation as always
I had the ideas but this really helped me connect them together… treesitter really is extremely powerful and I’m already getting ideas of cool things I could use it for if I learn it a bit
So great to hear!! thanks for the nice words :)
Great video, lots of cool tools built around the ecosystem like ast-grep
You know this video is going to be good when Teej brings out the blazer.
Sharp sports coat, very professional!
To the point, simply brilliant
Thanks a lot, really good explanation.
I hate the rest of the internet. Nobody else seemed to care about explaining what everything i was installing was doing and just that i should install it. This really, really sucks while ur trying to configure neovim on your own for the first time. Please keep it up < 3
Have never understood the REAL difference between LLM, LSP and treesitter. This video was very useful
Great video Teej!
Omg, what a great explanation!
Thanks for this, very helpful video
Eloquently explained!
cool video man, keep it up!!!
I thought this video is about how to do a job where you clean and water the trees when the tree owner isn't home.
Very well explained. Although, as a Mac power user it's still hard to overcome all the entry barriers. It's too easy to forget all the needed fundamentals that are needed to switch to neo vim. (as an active freelancer working on projects)
You are awesome, congratss great vid 🎉🎉
This is the stuff, thanks!
Thanks, Teej.
Dude you're on a roll
That is as close to art as it can be
The bit that I was really interested in is how the tree sitter determines what the “least number of errors” is for a given invalid program. Looks like it was never covered but I’m still curious.
Great video thanks
What would we do without trees*itter
we would not be sitting on the trees
high value content
Teej wearing a jacket, must be a serious video
I watched this 10 times yesterday stream 😂😂😂
you should try a different material sports coat. Tweed or Linen perhaps
You are a gem!
Great video.
I could be wrong because some of the information went over my head, but it sounds like treesitter is a file syntax parser and NOT a babysitter for trees.
LISP MENTIONED LISP MENTIONED LISP MENTIONED LISP MENTIONED LISP MENTIONED
Amazing thumbnail !
"isn't that outdated and illegal now" not proud to understand that joke because i'm chronically online
Vscode seem to be discussing potentially moving to treesitter from textmate grammars, it'll be a loooong time though.
Insane content 🎉
Doin my best!!
I did really like the video)
great one
I wish it was easier to create own custom parsers and stuff, so it’s as easy to add tree-sitter syntax highlights than it was with old Vimscript.
Bro it's late and I was like "tree sitter ? Wtf would you like someone to watch over a tree for you ?" and I feel very stupid now
another banger
Ayyy helix mentioned!
very cool editor!
any chance you could do an indepth LSP video, i watched the dedicated one but would like to learn more about the capabilities and handlers
yes, i'm planning an entire video of writing a complete lsp from scratch
@@teej_dvthank you than you
Great explanation .I had no idea I was building something that already existed , Iv been writing a language query system in rust ... I just have no interest in having to go back to C or train someone else in C to be able to use tree sitter building new language libraries for tree sitter to use .
I'd love to know the learning curve with tree sitter when building a language parser for a new language that hasnt been done or shared with it .
You don't write c when you use tree sitter. You write the grammar in js and you usually have language bindings already in other langs.
@@teej_dvOK that sounds interesting , so basically tell it the syntax and structure or and using javascript to create a grammar , then I could use rust bindings if I wanted to read or compile that grammar into something consumable.
I was under the impression I had to use C to write and compile that grammer into a library that uses C lib exports for bindings, so that I could then consume it with a Language like Rust or whatever Lang to be able to query what it parses...
So it sounds like a 2 stage approach versus the 3 phase approach I was thinking . Which means I dont need to use C at all.
Now I want you to make next video in full tuxedo
haha i'll think about it
awesome!
You forgot to say:
Hopefully this video was suitable.
Good one take 😃
Thanks!!
He's going corporate, oh no the suit
You can than twitch chat for that
hello TJ, may I ask you something?
While using VS Code, the Vim extension makes possible for me to use Visual Block mode, and then when I enter "I" to insert text, then backspace , the text follows for each line selected, and it is pretty good to use with SQL queries for example. When I try to do this with Vim or Neovim, I just can't, and I don't think it is the 'whichwrap' option, do you know what it is? Thank you.
3:38 oof. I didn't come here to be roasted 😭
bravo!
Great video except I do infact delete the file everytime I want to change something. I run echo >> file.ml (ocaml BTW) every time I need to edit something.
It's a more functional way to program. Having random, nonrecursive access to a character in a file, like having access to an element in an array introduces state into the writing of my program
Some lsp clients implement syntax highlighting themselves, right? How does neovim decide on using treesitter or lsp highlighting? I would assume that treesitter takes precedence, since it's faster, but if lsp and treesitter are unrelated, then how does it work?
first time seeing lisp and was worried about the warnings lmao, but honestly doesn't look as bad as react.
