Syntax highlighter breaks on `||`

[egranata]

Looking at https://arialang.github.io/style_guide.html, this sample code breaks the highlighter:

struct Complex {
    # ...
    operator +(rhs) {
        if (rhs isa Int) || (rhs isa Float) {
            return Complex.new(this.real + rhs, this.imag);
        } elsif rhs isa Complex {
            return Complex.new(this.real + rhs.real, this.imag + rhs.imag);
        } else {
            throw alloc(Unimplemented);
        }
    }

    reverse operator +(lhs) {
        return this._op_impl_add(lhs);
    }
}

everything after the (rhs isa Int) || is printed as plain text

may I suggest using our tree-sitter? Should be straightforward as there are wasm bindings for it: https://github.com/tree-sitter/tree-sitter/blob/master/lib/binding_web/README.md

Before using it though I would wait a bit before our tree sitter is complete, it lacks a few stuff, but overall in the long term I see it as beneficial. I can close the issue once the tree sitter is in a better state

Does it work for syntax highlighting? highlight-js very specifically takes code blocks and pretty-prints them with color coding. Can I do the same with a tree-sitter? If so, yeah by all means, we should not have more parsers than necessary :)

yes it does! I'm actually using it for this exact purpose in the zed extension

Neat, in that case. I will take a look and see if I can get it to work!
