Looks like building .so language files from source is deprecated in [py-tree-sitter](https://github.com/tree-sitter/py-tree-sitter), but there are no official python bindings for the [javascript grammar](https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter-javascript). Welp, that's annoying... The third-party Go bindings...

 Yeah, go-tree-sitter seems to work. Counting lines should be possible by looking at ``sourceCode``.

From the testing I've done to this point, I think would prefer go-tree-sitter to Babel, so I'll continue developing the formatting here. It'd still be useful to have your extract-js-strings.js...

This isn't specifically related, but I described it poorly initially, so to clarify, I think identifiers could be useful indicators too, and not just strings, so I'm trying to extract...

I rewrote it (no line tracking yet) to use the following query pattern: ``` (string) @string (template_string) @template (identifier) @identifier (property_identifier) @property (shorthand_property_identifier) @shorthand (comment) @comment ``` Here is the...
