Description
Tree-Sitter is a modern parsing system that is faster and more accurate than TextMate-grammars.
**Resources:**
- [`vscode-tree-sitter`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/vscode-tree-sitter) for VSCode extension support
- [`tree-sitter-curry`](https://github.com/matthesjh/tree-sitter-curry) as a grammar

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current TextMate-grammar approach, then compare the vscode-tree-sitter extension resource with the tree-sitter-curry grammar. Done means determining whether Tree-Sitter can support this extension and documenting the implementation path or blockers.
