The problem with overloading the file format feature is that file to language is a one-to-many mapping, e.g. there can be embedded templates that contain multiple different script languages such as C# for server-side scripts and JavaScript for client-side.

Tree-sitter needs to compile its (C) language bindings. Although I have a limited knowledge of package management, I've suggested to Moritz that we should precompile and package the supported tree-sitter bindings for each platform we support. The current state is a temporary measure.

It can throw type errors (which I believe we prevent with mypy) and a value error if parsing completely fails. Then the parse method will throw a ValueError, so the engine will throw a ValueError etc.: I can handle it in the following way at the Extractor level:

I believe there is no easy way to remedy this. From what I understand about templates in general is that the syntax is determined by the templating engine. In other words, there is easy way to detect from an unknown template which templating engine is being used (asp.net (and if so, what language), razor, ejs, erb, mako, jinja2, django, cheetah, go's html/template etc., not to mention each has their own syntax (some might use regular programming languages like C# to embed server logic, some might just contain very rudimentary placeholders/logic.
Here I am assuming that we only support EJS and C# in ASPX at the moment as embedded templates. This is because Tree-sitter embedded templates parser can only parse EJS and ERB (and we are not interested in embedded Ruby at the moment as far as I'm concerned). What's more, the default language for ASPX is VB, therefore if anyone wants to use C#, they need to include a @ Page directive with a Language attribute (see: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aspnet/k33801s3(v=vs.100), https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dotnet/netframework-4.0/ydy4x04a(v=vs.100)?redirectedfrom=MSDN, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/aspnet/fbdt8kk7(v=vs.100)).

Should we still assume that it's JS whenever it's not CS?
Could raise an Exception instead or are there other safe-guards in place before we get here?

I'd prefer to add an explicit encoding for these calls.
