BlazeLang for Visual Studio Code
Professional editing support for BlazeLang (.blz) source files. This extension is self-contained: it does not install BlazeLang or ship a compiler/interpreter.
Features
- BlazeLang language registration, file icon, comments, folding, matching brackets, auto-closing pairs, indentation, and region folding.
- TextMate and semantic highlighting for the language implemented by BlazeLang: declarations, classes, functions, modules, values, strings, comments, properties, built-ins, and operators.
- Fast editor-side diagnostics, hover, completions, document/workspace symbols, definitions, references, rename, formatting, and quick fixes.
- Snippets for control flow, functions, classes, error handling, and I/O.
- Commands: Run Current File, Format Document, Restart Language Server, New BlazeLang File, and Show Version.
Setup
- Install this extension from a
.vsix package or the Marketplace.
- Open a folder containing
.blz files. BlazeLang activates automatically.
- If
blz is not on PATH, set blazelang.interpreterPath to the full path of blz.exe.
Run the current editor with BlazeLang: Run Current File. The command issued is blz run <file> (or the configured interpreter path).
The formatter uses four spaces by default; set blazelang.format.indentSize to change it. Editor diagnostics are intentionally lightweight and incremental, so they remain responsive in large workspaces. The BlazeLang runtime remains the authority for execution-time diagnostics.
Language compatibility
This extension follows the current BlazeLang lexer/parser: blocks use braces, Function, Meta, Class, and Constructor are capitalized, Break/Continue are capitalized, and statements do not use semicolons. Both // and /* ... */ comments are supported by the lexer. async, await, protected, and override are reserved but not implemented by BlazeLang, so the extension does not suggest them.
