 - Q: How do LSP and Treesitter compare?
 - A: LSP requires a client and language server. The language server uses
      semantic analysis to understand code at a project level. This provides
      language servers with the ability to rename across files, find
      definitions in external libraries and more.

+     |treesitter| is a language parsing library that provides excellent tools
      for incrementally parsing text and handling errors. This makes it a great
      fit for editors to understand the contents of the current file for things
      like syntax highlighting, simple goto-definitions, scope analysis and
      more.
 
-     LSP and Treesitter are both great tools for editing and inspecting code.
