    LSH feels like it's being massively undersold here. The `grammars/` directory of helix is something like 183MB. That would be a non-starter for a lot of use cases for edit (which is already only 167kB). tree-sitter might be more powerful, but this is more than good enough, and it is orders of magnitude smaller.

    I'd love to read a longer blog post that details how y'all compared existing implementations and came to the conclusion that writing your own was the best path here. This kind of attention to craftmanship is something I feel like we're desperately missing these days in software.
