Disclaimer

The Lark Parser team already provides an extension for Visual Studio Code that includes syntax highlighting as part of the Lark grammar syntax support ↗ published in their github organization Lark Parser ↗, gently provided by Dirk Thomas.

This extension is based on the same grammar but is actively maintained independently by Dynova ↗ as an open source project.
