Support syntax highlighting with tree-sitter

Please consider supporting [tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter) grammars in addition to TextMate grammars. TextMate grammars are incredibly difficult to author and maintain and impossible to get right. The over 500 (!) issues reported against https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript-TmLanguage are a living proof of this. This presentation explains the motivation and goals for tree-sitter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1rC79DHpmY tree-sitter already ships with Atom and is also used on github.com.
