That's a good idea. I'll start by reviewing that work when I have time.

As I've already said before, I don't see this as an "either or" situation. I
want tree-sitter to be integrated into Emacs core too, eventually. Seems like we
are still a long way from there, though. These packages already work, and are
used by many people.

And my general understanding is that there aren’t much interest in integrating tree-sitter into the C core. So...
Great initiative! To clarify, again: I wanted tree-sitter to be integrated into
Emacs core, and proposed the dynamic-module-based approach as an interim
solution that would better facilitate experimentation while we work towards
that end goal. That has worked out reasonably well. When Emacs core has
tree-sitter integrated, these packages can hopefully be deprecated.

Thanks, I'll check it out. In the meantime, please feel free to study the
packages, borrow the code/ideas/design decisions, and ask questions about them,
or about tree-sitter in general.
Thanks,
