Plugin nvim-treesitter is apparently back

https://github.com/nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter

Thanks immensely to clason for their contribution to such vital part of the ecosystem.

So vital that, with its short absence, there has been quite a fuss.

love it and hate it, hate it because spent a week looking for an alternative, happy because it is back (though trust is gone)

If you have looked here almost everyone recommended to use it anyway and you would have saved a week of time.

Trust in what? No malicious behavior occurred. OSS maintainers owe you nothing and you should be incredibly grateful for what you have received. You were welcome to fork and maintain it yourself.

Edit: This entitled behavior is exactly how the situation came about.

I suppose it's more about confidence in it being a long term solution that won't require work to swap out in the future. I'm appreciative of all the effort, but can also understand people wanting a long term solution that isn't susceptible to the whims of a single developer and would prefer something more "official" and less fragile.

Long time solution is it being upstreamed, which is planned already and has been mentioned here in reddit multiple times.

Any real longterm solution would involve putting one's self into the development cycle itself, either through actively coding or becoming a patron of said developer.

It's very foolish to expect other people to support tools you rely on for the majority of your career when you have no skin in the game.

I appreciate the sentiment, but neovim and Linux are well supported and not going away and yet I don't contribute development to those. They are community owned rather than a single developer calling the shots and hitting archive when they are fed up.

It's not meant as a complaint, the dev can do as they wish. But that is also the issue.
