mainstream languages, listed below.
## How to add support for another language
Aider should work quite well for other languages, even those
without repo map or linter support.
You should really try coding with aider before
assuming it needs better support for your language.
That said, if aider already has support for linting your language,
then it should be possible to add repo map support.
To build a repo map, aider needs the `tags.scm` file
from the given language's tree-sitter grammar.
If you can find and share that file in a
[GitHub issue](https://github.com/paul-gauthier/aider/issues),
then it may be possible to add repo map support.
If aider doesn't support linting, it will be complicated to
add linting and repo map support.
That is because aider relies on
[py-tree-sitter-languages](https://github.com/grantjenks/py-tree-sitter-languages)
to provide pre-packaged versions of tree-sitter
parsers for many languages.
Aider needs to be easy for users to install in many environments,
and it is probably too complex to add dependencies on
additional individual tree-sitter parsers.
