Archive note: the project is still active, but has moved to https://sr.ht/~hadronized/kak-tree-sitter/.

This is a binary server that interfaces tree-sitter with kakoune.

Important note: by default, no colorscheme supporting tree-sitter is set for you. You have to pick one or write your own. See this section from the man for further information.
