User could use AST in code editors for syntax coloring, making symbol outline table interface, it could help with autocompletion.

Why do we have to use separate parsers, like lsp, ctags, tree-sitter, they are inaccurate or resource-intensive?

In fact I’m not really sure if even any languages that do that, but i think it should be the norm for language designers,
