Wait, what?  I thought that emacs would come with such tree-sitter
language definitions (at least for languages supported by
emacs/treesitter).  I'm on openbsd myself and those language specific
parsers don't seem to be packaged here: "pkg_info -Q sitter" returns
only "tree-sitter-0.20.6p2".  I'm not sure I want to play with NodeJS.

IMHO, should tree-sitter become the new official way to have programming
modes it have to be easier to the end user, no?
