I do have an article that covers many of the topics you mentioned [1]. But it 
lacks “hands-on” details, and it is a bit out-dated (repository moved, we 
changed the prefix, etc). I can update it with, say, a starter guide on 
implementing a minimal tree-sitter C major mode. I’ll post back once its done.
