Anybody know what’s going on?
It’s sad but it is what it is. I wish the author all the best and that they get well soon. But I want to focus on the technical side.
Some tree-sitter functionality and highlighting is already in Neovim. For Lua, even the highlighting groups (
) are available. So this is mostly fine.What’s missing for me is a way to get the highlighting groups to other file types, like HTML or JSON, etc. There is some highlighting, so I guess the general parsing from the built-in treesitter is done.
I wonder how we can do this manually either by configuration or using a minimalist plugin.
Looks like the maintainer burned out. Maybe give them some time to recover.

I mean, for good reason.
If I had to deal with shushtain I’d quit too.
God damn, they’re an asshole. Never even heard of them, but that comment was wild and out of left field
Open source developers are lovely people who take tons of free time out of their lives to bring something into the world that everyone can use and benefit from. They are not compensated, and don’t owe anyone anything. I will never understand why people come into issues, discussions, etc. demanding things, being rude, and complaining about software they get for free and didn’t have to lift a finger for. If you don’t like the software they are creating or maintaining, you can fork your own version and spend your free time changing it however you like.
Clason, I doubt you will ever read this, but if you do, there are so many people who love the plugin you’ve created and use it every day. We really appreciate all the time you’ve spent giving this gift to all of us for free. I 100% respect your decision to step away (hopefully only temporarily, but also understand if it’s permanent). Wishing you all the best, and sorry you had to deal with humans being horrible.
