No, I don't know if it will work with helix, that's why I asked for
others to work on the editors they're interested in.

But the infrastructure is there in tree-sitter itself, I think -
diff-sitter also includes the grammars in its repository directly, but
still supports loading the shared libraries; emacs has support for
downloading & compiling them but uses the shared libraries.
