Sorry, but I can't understand what this actually is. A library, a stand-alone tool, a Rust crate? What users does it target? Text editors, website creators?

Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited.

You can use it as a normal Rust library, or you can use the JavaScript/WASM wrapper to highlight source code on a web page.
My favorite is nvim-treesitter-textobjects which gives you dozens of new targets for vim motions, such as a function call or the condition of a loop.

It's a Rust library (comprised of a bunch of crates) that wraps a high-performance, high-accuracy syntax highlighter (called Tree-sitter) with vetted support for almost 100 programming/markup languages. You can use it as a normal Rust library, or you can use the JavaScript/WASM wrapper to highlight source code on a web page.
Just wanted to note that tree-sitter is lower-level and more general: it's an incremental parser that is specialised for gracefully and efficiently parsing partially-correct code snippets or code being edited live.
It's an important building block of the highlighter, but it needs more on top to complete the package. It can be used for anything that requires awareness of code structure in an editor.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm happy to see that tree sitter highlighting on the web is finally a thing. This seems really solid although the bundle size is a lot.

What a genius this dev is. Just a few weeks ago I tried to do something very similar for my blog, but quickly gave up as it’s not easy to do! Kudos to the author, they did an awesome job and went beyond by actually fixing up even the grammars and highlighting queries so it all works perfectly!
