OSS burnout claims another project. On 2 Apr, an entitled user angrily asked the burned-out maintainer of nvim-treesitter to “go switch to something that doesn't require interacting with people”.
The maintainer replied “OK” — and archived the repo, stopping development of nvim-treesitter.

Open Source Burnout Claims Another Project
Yet another OSS maintainer quits because of burnout. To fix this, we need better mental health resources for maintainers.

it is, but support for *building* treesitter grammars isn’t. this is very stupid and mostly to do with vim compatibility stuff

having a treesitter grammar for your brand new data flow assembly language so that it looks nice in your editor and is easy to write, even though it somewhat necessarily has different and more complex semantics than any other asm dialect.
