tree-sitter-zz

Tree-sitter grammar for the ZZ programming language.

Docs: https://zz-lang.pages.dev.

Use

bun install
bunx tree-sitter generate   # builds src/
bunx tree-sitter test       # runs test/corpus

Neovim (nvim-treesitter):

vim.filetype.add({ extension = { zz = "zz" } })
-- point the `zz` parser at this repo, then `:TSInstall zz`

The queries/ folder (highlights, folds, indents) is mirrored in ../nvim/nvim-zz/queries/zz/ — keep both in sync.

GitHub language statistics (Linguist)

GitHub's language breakdown comes from github-linguist/linguist. To make .zz files count as ZZ:

1. Fork github-linguist/linguist.
2. In lib/linguist/languages.yml, add (alphabetical, under Z):

ZZ:
  type: programming
  color: "#7B61FF"
  extensions:
    - ".zz"
  tm_scope: source.zz
  ace_mode: text
  language_id: 123456789  # request a real id in your PR description

3. Add samples: samples/ZZ/hello.zz, samples/ZZ/server.zz (take them from test/corpus/basics.txt sources above).
4. Open the PR titled "Add ZZ language". Linguist requires the language to be in use on GitHub already — push tree-sitter-zz and a few .zz repos first, and link them in the PR.

Notes:

• color must not collide with an existing language color; if CI complains, pick another and update vscode/vscode-zz icon + docs.
• language_id must be unique — ask the maintainers for one in the PR.
