Link-Lang VSCode Extension (link-lang)
Official VSCode syntax highlighting and language support extension for Link-Lang, the custom programming language powering the NebulaOS ecosystem.
Features
- Advanced Syntax Highlighting: Accurate colorization for control flow keywords, storage types, built-in functions, constants, numbers (including hex literals), and strings.
- Smart Operator Precedence: Clean and error-free operator matching (
==, !=, <=, >=, +, -, *, /, =, <, >, and, or).
- C++ Interoperability Support: Embedded
extern "c" C++ block scope highlighting (source.cpp).
- Function Call Highlighting: Automatically detects and highlights user-defined or built-in function calls.
- Editor Configuration:
- Line comment support using
#.
- Automatic bracket and quote closing with smart context-awareness (won't auto-close inside comments or strings).
- Smart indentation rules for block scopes (
{}).
