I've been playing with Zed, which doesn't use TextMate grammars like VS Code and Atom do, but rather uses tree-sitter for syntax highlighting.
Theoretically, writing a tree-sitter grammar should be easier than the TextMate grammar, because it doesn't use regexes AFAIK. I don't think I have the time to write one myself unfortunately, but I thought I'd still put out this feature request.
Other than Zed, Neovim also supports tree-sitter, but it falls back to the Vim plugin, which is regex-based.
