Either should be fine.

If you call tree-sitter-available-p, what do you get? Most likely you don’t 
have the relevant language definition/grammar for those modes. You can probably 
find them on package managers, or you can build with the script here:

Do you think the error message could be improved? IIRC the error reporting 
tells you you need language definitions, but maybe it should explicitly say 
language definition != tree-sitter library.
