Custom language support #11

Closed EightM closed 3 years ago

EightM commented 3 years ago

Is anycode open for adding support for languages that does not include in VS code?

For example if i have some language Foo, tree-sitter-foo library and Foo syntax highlight extension, what the best way to add this language to anycode? Thanks.

Yeah, in principle this is open for contributions but YSK that anycode isn't about syntax highlighting. I am therefore a little confused by your statement about syntax highlighting above. Anycode is about low fidelity language services features, like outline or go to definition etc

Oh, so i can just use two separate extension, right? In Anycode it will be tree-sitter-foo and activation event "onLanguage: Foo" and some other separate web extension will contribute new language Foo to VS code and provide its syntax highlighting

Yes - that should work. What language is that?

It's just a simple script language that is quite popular in my country. Thanks for help!
