consider defining a custom lua editor mode #78

Open pq opened 6 years ago

pq commented 6 years ago

defining our own editor mode would un-gate a few things:

updating syntax (#9)
clickable links (#77)

in the long run, it could further help w/

customized code completion
improved doc integration

quick update: i've done some digging, specifically targeted at updating syntax (#9). the rub there is that we need to update the parser which does syntax validation in a web worker. the parser fix looks easy however i've not been able to get the worker bit sorted out.

tagging this as "help wanted" in case more web-savvy folks would be up for lending a hand.

for context, here's a branch that gets us to where we'd like to wire-up the worker: https://github.com/pq/maiden/commit/02aa78a853cbcfee6374ff20e1a43557b5a99678 (createWorker contrib is commented out in lua.js).
