nyx-systems — VS Code extension
Syntax highlighting and editor support for Nyx, the zero-GC systems programming
language by Simeon Bala / 9jaonCloud Engineering.
🌐 https://nyx.9jaoncloud.com.ng
⚠️ Which "Nyx" is this?
This extension is for the Nyx systems language (nyxc compiler, NyxOS, Nyx Mobile OS).
It is not for NyxCode (nyxcode.io / heynyx.dev), an unrelated web full-stack
DSL that also happens to use the .nyx extension. See the project README for the full
comparison.
