Why exactly is it deprecated?

Hi, I'm new in VSCode extension development. I can't get how the new VSCode feature replaced this addon.

With the improving support for custom syntax coloring through language server, this extension is no longer needed

As I understand the code highlighting is not in the scope of LSP specification. The tree-sitter does a good job on it. Is there some extension in LSP - VCCode communication that allows the server to submit coloring properties?

May be what is being referred to is this sort of thing: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/86415

FWIW, there is another effort for doing syntax highlighting via tree-sitter for VSCode here: https://github.com/EvgeniyPeshkov/syntax-highlighter
