PLang VS Code Extension

PLang language support for VS Code: syntax highlighting + LSP client (diagnostics, go-to-definition, hover, completion).

Features

Syntax highlighting: keywords, types, strings, numbers, comments, function names, operators (syntaxes/plang.tmLanguage.json)
LSP services: diagnostics (squiggles), Ctrl+Click go-to-definition, hover, completion, rename

Install (development mode)

# 1. Build the LSP server and compiler (in the pLang project)
cd ~/Documents/pLang
cmake --build cmake-build-debug

# 2. Install extension dependencies
cd ~/Documents/plang-vscode
npm install

# 3. Open the extension folder in VS Code and press F5 (Extension Development Host)
code ~/Documents/plang-vscode

After pressing F5, open any .plang file:

Keywords are colored immediately (syntax highlighting, no LSP needed)
Diagnostics / go-to-definition / completion become active within seconds (LSP connected)
