# tree-sitter-janet-simple

A [Janet](https://janet-lang.org) grammar for tree-sitter.

## Status

Usable, but as tree-sitter is pre-1.0, don't forget the salt.

## Content

This repository currently provides "source" files such as:

* `grammar.js` - can be used to generate `parser.c` using the

  `tree-sitter` `generate` subcommand, but `node` is then required

* `package.json` - without this file, the `tree-sitter` cli's

  capabilities will be somewhat impacted.

Also, things that are provided (which are actually generated) but

might disappear at some point:

* `src/parser.c` and friends [1] - other projects have come to expect

  these to be committed to a grammar repository, but [there are forces

  in the world wanting to remove

  them](https://github.com/sogaiu/ts-questions/blob/master/questions/should-parser-source-be-committed/README.md),

  so depending on how things go, these may disappear.

---

[1] Currently these files are generated to have ABI 13.

## Misc Commentary

Coincidentally, it appears [another effort by

GrayJack](https://github.com/GrayJack/tree-sitter-janet/) was started

at about the same time.

The main difference between these two is that GrayJack's grammar

supports higher level constructs (e.g. `def` is recognized by the

grammar) at the cost of accuracy.

There might end up being different trade-offs in either approach and

my belief is that there is room in the world for multiple attempts

(especially for lisp-like languages).
