[CLOSED] Non web code #8555

Open core-ai-bot opened 3 years ago

core-ai-bot commented 3 years ago

Issue by ZehCnaS34 Saturday Oct 18, 2014 at 19:00 GMT Originally opened as https://github.com/adobe/brackets/issues/9593

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but does brackets have any plans on widening it's focus from only web projects, to native non-web projects? And if not, could I essentially create extensions to make brackets play better with native languages like C or GO?

@ZehCnaS34 There's nothing stopping you from editing other types of code in Brackets. There's built-in syntax highlighting for over 30 languages, including things like PHP, C, Java, etc. Brackets is highly extensible, so you certainly can write extensions to add richer support for those languages. Some extensions like that already exist -- for example, there's a great PHP code hints extension.

If you'd like to try writing your own extensions, you can get started here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/How-to-write-extensions.

Syntax highlighting for Go should be easy to add btw, since CodeMirror supports Go. Info on how to use that in an extension here: https://github.com/adobe/brackets/wiki/Language-Support#defining-a-new-language

Thanks, I was just wondering because I was browsing Atom and Light Table forums, and people were saying brackets was more focused on web development. I just wanted to get an answer from someone who is more familiar with it.
