Now perhaps we can get rid of the CGO dependency and make it pure Go instead. I have pinged some folks to take a look at it.
There are at least some use cases where neither queries nor walks are suitable. And I have run into cases where being able to regenerate and compile grammars on the fly is immeasurably helpful.
At least for my use cases, this would be unusable.
Also, what the hell is this:

Why do you have a parsing mode that guarantees incorrect outputs on some grammars (html comes to mind) and then use it as your “90x faster” benchmark figure?
I imagine this can very useful for Go-based forges that need syntax highlighting (i.e. Gitea, Forgejo).
I have a strict no-cgo requirement, so I might use it in my project, which is Git+JJ forge https://gitncoffee.com.

I use CRDT merge though, cause 3-way metadata-less merges only provide very incremental improvements over e.g. git+mergiraf.
How do you see got's main improvement over git?
Are these pretty up-to-date grammars? I'm awfully tempted to switch to your project
How large are your binaries getting? I was concerned about the size of some of the grammars
Essentially you use AI to somehow re-implement the original code base in a different language, made it somehow work, and claim it is xx times faster. It is misleading.
