The size of the generated C parser has reached 70 MiB, which is large for a parser.

There's a little bit of discussion at https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/issues/1041 about parser size, but no obvious hints for this repo.

@Wilfred , thanks for pointing that out. This is a serious problem, I couldn't even generate a .wasm file in my local machine.

let me go through this, and try to optimize this.

currently the parser.c stands at 70MB, and I'm aiming to bring it under < 10MB.

@ganezdragon That's a big improvement, thank you :)
