This is a good point.  The Tree-sitter Elisp library itself and its
commands already use the "treesit" abbreviation consistently.  We're
still on time to rename the new language modes to c-treesit-mode, and so
on.  Thoughts?

I don't think we should rename.  There's just one ts-mode, and many
foo-ts-mode modes, so the latter win.

I'd rather change ts-mode to typescript-mode or typescript-ts-mode. But we can discuss names, of course :-)

Even better would be some construct we've discussed many times the last months: not letting a specific implementation "own" a major mode name. So c-mode could be powered by cc mode implementation _or_ treesit.el implementation, but not a merged thing.

To me the natural progression would be to keep name as-is, then later when we have such a construct just delete the *-ts-modes.

For Emacs 30 or 31.

I am nobody, but FWIW, I'm in favor of using "treesit" instead of "ts" in
the mode names. Even if tree sitter had a higher profile than typescript
(NB: typescript's is in fact much higher, and this is unlikely to change no
matter how much adoption tree sitter sees), the unambiguous naming scheme
is preferable. Does anyone really mind the five additional characters?

If there was no ts-mode before, I'm okay with renaming it to
typescript-ts-mode.

+1.  I originally stopped following this thread by mistake because I
thought it discussed TypeScript.  Also, it would never occur to me to
search M-x for the string "ts" to see all the new Tree Sitter modes.
So, 'ts' fits the bill perfectly, but in Vim and not Emacs. :)

Thanks.

However, note that it's better to rename the file in a separate commit,
containing no other changes.  That way, "git blame" provides stronger
guarantees for providing correct attribution.  (BTW, "git log" does too,
but it needs a --follow flag.)

So I did the rename separately, in your name, applied your patch on top,
and pushed the result to master (commit 374f4e38c1).  I also adjusted
the commit message slightly to reflect this:

    Rename ts-mode to typescript-ts-mode

[daanturo]

How about instead of "*-ts-modef", we use "*-tst-mode" (for TreeSitTer)
instead?

It's only a character more but also there won't be confusion with
Typescript anyway.

Yeah we should use treesit, if nothing better appears. We had a (short) discussion on better names than xxx-ts-mode, but no one had better idea, so the name stuck.

Sorry, no more renames, and that is final.  The branching point for emacs-29
is almost upon us, and we cannot afford such changes anymore.  The
justification is quite weak anyway.  People who think "ts" means only
"typescript" will have to adapt.  (The tree-sitter library has all of its
functions start with "ts_", so we didn't invent this shorthand out of thin
air.)
