Rust grammar for tree-sitter.
-
Speed — When initially parsing a file,
tree-sitter-rust
takes around two to three times as long as rustc's hand-written parser.$ wc -l examples/ast.rs 2157 examples/ast.rs $ rustc -Z unpretty=ast-tree -Z time-passes examples/ast.rs | head -n0 time: 0.002; rss: 55MB -> 60MB ( 5MB) parse_crate $ tree-sitter parse examples/ast.rs --quiet --time examples/ast.rs 6.48 ms 9908 bytes/ms
But if you edit the file after parsing it, tree-sitter can generally update the previous existing syntax tree to reflect your edit in less than a millisecond, thanks to its incremental parsing system.
