This is a very interesting idea that could save a lot of time and pain in big projects.

The example shown reminds me pf Zed's CRDTs [1], and their journey to build a fine-grained version control system for agentic development [2]—I imagine this work could prove useful to the Zed/Cursor team, and likely shares a lot of functionality with DeltaDB [2].

I’m pretty sure one of the Zed founders wrote tree-sitter, so I’m sure there’s some overlap

It’s really cool to see tree-sitter unlock so many of these use cases. I love using [difftastic] for my diffing tool to get context aware diffs. So in the example from the article, the diff would highlight the `void` and `int` changes with a heavier background of red and green respectively

Max Brunsfeld in fact, yep. He went along to Zed from the Atom team.

But curiously Zed hasn't been very interested in Tree-sitter. They don't seem to see it as having much strategic value to their company, which is odd because lots of other people do see it as a valuable platform. You have Tweag building code formatting on it, you had GitHub building stack graphs on it, you have Merigraph. You even have sone really "out there" stuff like the Software Evolution Library!
