feat: more languages supported

[elijah-potter]

I'd like to expand the number of languages supported for comment checking. There are a number of additional considerations for structured comments (like JavaDoc), but some should be pretty straightforward.

Running list:

• Bash
• YAML
• HTML
• Java
• Groovy
• Git commit buffers (filetype gitcommit)
• PowerShell

In addition to adding language parsers to the tree-sitter code, we would also need to open pull requests for nvim-lspconfig, mason and fix harper-ls to announce support for the capability.

Feel free to add suggestions to this list.

Alright. At the time of writing, we've got JavaDoc, HTML, and Bash supported, as well as gitcommit buffers.

If you could add php to the list as well, it would be great

Adding dart would be great as well.

Hey, markdown support seems pretty advanced. 👍
But are there plans to also support other markup languages, such as djot, with the same level of functionality?
Or will only markdown be seen as a first-class citizen in the near future?

Either way, I am thrilled about the project and being able to use a solid spell-checker LSP 🥳 :

PS: Are you planning on adding a sponsoring option?

Coming back to this issue after a solid period of stagnation, to give an update.

#332 has added Haskell support, #354 is adding Vimscript, and #353 is adding cmake support. These will all be considered "rough" until someone has the time to go in and touch them up (which is a good first issue to tackle, if anyone is interested).

I plan on adding PHP and potentially PowerShell later today.

But are there plans to also support other markup languages, such as djot, with the same level of functionality?

We've got an open PR for Typst support: #302. I do not personally have time in the near future to add similar levels of polish to a new language as the Markdown parser. That said, we are entirely open to PRs on the topic, and I can answer any questions you may have. I'm not sure how complex djot is, but it may be as simple as importing the right Treesitter parser.

Either way, I am thrilled about the project and being able to use a solid spell-checker LSP 🥳

That's great to hear! I aim to please.

We might be a little past that.

Emacs org-mode support would be rad

I just had a peep at the supported languages and here are some I note to be missing:

• Assembly
• Elixir
• Kotlin
• Odin
• Zig

I've never used Elixir. Kotlin probably requires the least effort, possibly none. Zig and Odin from memory both also just have C-like comments. Assembly uses ; to introduce comments, at least the common ones.

Glad to see PowerShell is on the running list!

mail support isn't great right now. Since it uses the PlainEnglish parser, it also applies rules to the headers and metadata of the file which isn't ideal. I'm working on a tree-sitter parser for the mail format atm, I'm wondering if it would be possible to only apply harper's rules to contents of the (body) node, or something like that?
