I didn't mean the tree-sitter grammar was not understandable - it's very understandable - I just can't work out how to managed to find such a concise way to express grammars. Even compared to Whitequark it's 1/3 the size. What's the unique thing you do that makes it so concise?

It also seems somehow to be completely declarative? How have you managed to transform Ruby parsing to be context-free? For example where's the set of what's currently a local variable so you can distinguish from method calls?
