alt Hacker NewsIt is my understanding that basically all LSP implementations use tree-sitter because of its incremental rebuild capability, and this requires re-implementing the parser.

That's just not true. rust-analyzer does not use tree-sitter. Neither does gopls. Nor Pylance. Or tsc. In fact I don't know if there is a single popular LSP that uses it (but there probably is).
Many editors use tree-sitter, but that is separate from the LSP.
