  Description     : incremental parsing system for programming tools

Tree-sitter is a parser generator tool and an incremental parsing
library. It can build a concrete syntax tree for a source file and
efficiently update the syntax tree as the source file is edited.
Tree-sitter aims to be:

 * General enough to parse any programming language
 * Fast enough to parse on every keystroke in a text editor
 * Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of
   syntax errors
 * Dependency-free so that the runtime library (which is written in pure
   C) can be embedded in any application

 - is it a dependency for another package? do you use it?

Yes, it will be used by an upcoming version of Neovim.
