@masatake found this Discussion and wanted to ask something. Right now I am in search for a ctags solution that generates tags using tree-sitter. Tree-sitter becomes a de-facto standard for editors (nvim, helix, VS Code, GitHub Syntax Highlighting), so a lot of people are going to make tree-sitter grammars and it's going to be more and more maintained. For me universal ctags work good, but for some languages like TypeScript I have to grep for things. I don't use LSP because it's unpredictable and I would like to use ctags for that matter. Have you thought about adding at least a fallback backend that uses tree-sitter? As a user I would love to say "I want ctags with this tree-sitter-kotlin repo". Because now even some new languages also start to provide tree-sitter grammars. And I can't write parsers myself, so I don't think I can contribute a new language to ctags. But other people already did write a parser for that language, so it might be useful to reuse that |

I have spent a long time improving ctags.
However, I am also interested in activating the community developing tags(5) based software.
I found about two tree-sitter based tags generators.
I sent a first pull request to treetags.
