ProXPL VS Code Extension

Professional language support for ProXPL (ProX Programming Language) in Visual Studio Code. This extension provides a rich development experience with syntax highlighting, code snippets, and language configuration.

✨ Features

🎨 Syntax Highlighting

Comprehensive syntax highlighting for all ProXPL language features:

• Keywords: Control flow (if, while, for), declarations (func, let, const), and modules (use).
• Types: Built-in types (int, float, string, bool, list, dict).
• Literals: Numbers (hex, binary, float), strings (escapes), and booleans.
• Comments: Single-line (//) and multi-line (/* ... */).

🧩 Code Snippets

Boost your productivity with built-in snippets for common patterns:

• main - scaffolding for the main entry point
• func - function declaration structure
• if, ifelse - conditional logic
• for, while - loop structures
• print - quick print statement
• try - error handling block
• use - module import
• doc - Documentation comments

🛠️ Language Configuration

• Auto-closing pairs: Automatically closes braces {}, brackets [], parentheses (), and quotes.
• Bracket matching: Visual indicators for matching brackets.
• Comment toggling: Use Ctrl+/ (or Cmd+/) to toggle comments.
• Folding: Collapse and expand code blocks.
