This has been a thing since Linux kernel version 5.0.

How come it doesn’t work? Which compositor are you using?

0.x versions allow for breaking changes to be made to configuration (and whatnot), which allows stabilization for 1.x versions (which OTOH shouldn’t allow breaking changes without a major bump).

I’m currently using Gentoo. That means I should also grow my own food…

To complement your answer, usually people want tree-sitter not only for smart selections, but because of syntax highlighting.

Kakoune has the best of both worlds: https://github.com/kak-lsp/kak-lsp supports semantic highlights from LSP servers, but we also have projects like https://github.com/phaazon/kak-tree-sitter in case you want highlighting from tree-sitter.

Well, that’s Fedora, my friend. On Gentoo it’s still the same.
