I'm not very familiar with TreeSitter, but I think TreeSitter would for
all practical cases provide a faster/simpler solution to font-locking.

(TreeSitter uses an already defined grammar, whereas an LSP server could
potentially take into account dynamic information.  I've reimplemented
the hangman game as an LSP server, and there the color of a word depends
on its location within the file.  The color of the hanged man could also
depend on the number of remaining guesses.)
