MintPlayer Polyglot for Visual Studio
Language support for Polyglot (.pg) — one small source language that transpiles to idiomatic,
readable C#, TypeScript, Python, and PHP.
Features
- Syntax highlighting for
.pg files.
- Language server (the
polyglot lsp CLI): live diagnostics, go-to-definition (same-file and
cross-module), hover, document symbols, find references, rename, Format Document, completion
(including obj. members), and semantic-token coloring.
- Per-target reserved-name checks — identifiers that would collide with a configured target's
generated code squiggle live, named per target.
Watch / rebuild-on-save
For a .NET project consuming the MintPlayer.Polyglot.MSBuild NuGet, .pg files are registered as
dotnet watch inputs — run dotnet watch build (or run) on the project and every .pg save
re-transpiles automatically. For standalone use, the CLI has polyglot build <file> --watch.
Requirements
The language features need the polyglot CLI on your PATH (it hosts the language server).
There is no prebuilt CLI download yet — build it from the
MintPlayer.Polyglot repository (see the README),
or point the extension at a built MintPlayer.Polyglot.Cli.exe.
Project configuration
An optional pgconfig.json next to (or above) your .pg files drives module resolution, the ambient
std prelude, and the project's target set:
{
"root": ".",
"lib": ["io", "math"],
"targets": ["csharp", "typescript"]
}
