Subject: Mode names for C-like tree-sitter modes
Date: Sun, 13 Nov 2022 17:16:13 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C23FEAC-6550-48BE-91A3-443B44717C40@gmail.com> (raw)

Thanks to Theo’s great work, we now have tree-sitter powered major modes for C, C++, Java, JSON, CSS. Right now they are named c-ts-mode, c++-ts-mode, java-ts-mode, etc. And c-ts-mode and c++-ts-mode inherits from a dummy mode c-ts-mode--base-mode.

I think it’s fair to make C, C++ and Java modes independent, since all the cc-mode options are invalidated when we use tree-sitter. However, their name could be improved, IMO. But I can’t think of anything better than c-ts-mode :-)

(neo-c-mode… just saying)

c-ts-mode--base-mode should probably be a public mode, since the intention (IIUC) is enable users to configure C and C++ together, by adding hooks to this base-mode. So something like c-base-mode or c-ts-base-mode?

CSS and JSON could be merged with current modes, I think. Css-ts-mode could merge with css-mode, and json-ts-mode could be merged with js-json-mode. Or we can just have a dedicated json-mode.

Theo, WDYT?

Yuan
