Description
I initially wrote axil to help inspect and run queries against syntax trees for my treesitter-based language server implementation (https://github.com/terror/just-lsp), and have been working toward making this into something more useable :)

Could you build this?
Yes Axil is a TUI wrapper around tree-sitter parse trees and queries, which can be easily implemented in Rust (with Ratatui) or Go (with Bubbletea) using existing tree-sitter bindings.
