thanks for the package.

You're welcome!

Can you please follow the GIT submodule guidelines and download the git submodules in the source array and reference them in prepare()? Actually, the guidelines say that you should download them via the source array.

This is actually a big PITA for maintenance and I would rather not unless it brings substantial benefits (and I'm not aware of any for a vcs package).

(And also, you should change the license identifier to make it SPDX compliant.)

Sure, done.

build() fails for me while running ./configure: ./configure: line 118758: ./tree-sitter.cfg: No such file or directory

Looks like an upstream issue. You should report it to upstream.

Please avoid pull git submodules recursively. Users who build other packages which use gnulib may benefit from already having it in SRCDEST-directory.

OK done, however I really dislike this way as it add more maintenance burden, therefore I would only change it upon request.

I needed to install fpc, the Free Pascal Compiler, to build.

Fixed, thanks!
