+
+↠ Neovim [version 0.5][neovim/neovim-v0.5.0] is a long-time awaited update that introduces features like support for [tree-sitter][tree-sitter/tree-sitter] via [nvim-treesitter][nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter] and [LSP][neovim-docs-lsp] via [nvim-lspconfig][neovim/nvim-lspconfig].
+Even though Neovim divides more and more from Vim through specific features like first-class Lua support with custom APIs, the highlighting for tree-sitter is achieved through “normal“ syntax highlighting groups. Most of the groups are already [linked by the `nvim-treesitter` plugin by default][nvim-treesitter/nvim-treesitter-blob-90f15d9] so only a few groups have been adjusted for now to fit the Nord style.
+
+⚠️ Note that this is the first iteration and **it is very likely that there will be inconsistencies compared to the current highlighting when using “normal“ Vim plugins per language**. Please **report any problem** you find so that the support for tree-sitter can be improved continuously!
