semantic Dart support

I've read through a couple issues and https://github.com/github/semantic/blob/master/docs/adding-new-languages.md - mainly filing this so it's tracked somewhere and people out there realize it's desired.

I'm a bit curious - is there any option to support talking to a language server directly? Otherwise, each new language feature over time will take additional grammar updates/parser updates. If it's somehow possible to just integrate with a langauge server, it'd be much easier to implement Dart support.

If it makes sense to file a separate bug for LSP support I'd be happy to.

@dnfield LSP doesn’t provide enough information to be a proper driver for Semantic, unfortunately. The process of adding new languages is about to get much easier, so that documentation will (thankfully!) be out of date soon.

Will it still be necessary to do the tree sitter parser? As in, would it be worth starting on that with the upcoming changes?

@dnfield: Great question! Yes, definitely 👍

Did the process of adding a new language get easier? Maybe Dart can be revisited?

@ChristianEdwardPadilla Yes! Take a look at the tree-sitter documentation: https://tree-sitter.github.io/tree-sitter/code-navigation-systems
