There are many parts to tree-sitter. The runtime, which uses language-specific parse tables to parse use files, is written in C. The command line tools (cli), one of which converts the language grammar file written in javascript into C code that builds the parse table, are written in Rust; https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/tree/master/cli/src > It has an available set of Rust bindings.
