Description
## Language
DM (https://www.byond.com/docs/ref)
**DM**, also known as **Dream Maker**, is a programming language used in the **BYOND** RPG game engine. One of the biggest FOSS games, **Space Station 13**, is written in this language and is actively being developed. Most of the branches of the original game use the GitHub as a repository for the source code of the game. The ecosystem of the language is also mainly supported by developers of various branches of the game.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the Code Navigation README section on adding a new language, then inspect the supplied Linguist language entry and the tree-sitter-dm repository. Check whether the parser, tags queries, and Rust crate meet the stated requirements; done means the DM submission is accepted for code navigation or the missing requirements are identified.
