To prevent +the warnings, either build Emacs with tree-sitter and install the +grammar libraries, or customize 'auto-mode-alist' to specify some +other major mode (or even Fundamental mode) for those kinds of files. + Each major mode based on tree-sitter needs a language grammar library, usually named "libtree-sitter-LANG.so" ("libtree-sitter-LANG.dll" on MS-Windows), where LANG is the corresponding language name.
