Swahili Programming Language - SwahiliPro

Language support for SwahiliPro, a programming language with Swahili keywords designed to help people learn and build software in their own language.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for SwahiliPro v2 .swa files
• # line comments, bracket matching, auto-closing pairs and indentation
• Hover documentation and examples for keywords such as acha, ikiwa, kwa, wakati and rudisha
• SwahiliPro: New File from the Command Palette

Example

jumlisha(a, b) => a + b

acha jina = "Amina"
acha umri = 18

ikiwa (umri >= 18) {
    andika("Habari " + jina)
}

andika(jumlisha(5, 10))

Running SwahiliPro programs

This extension provides editor support only. To run .swa files, install the SwahiliPro runtime separately (see swahilipro.com), then run from any terminal:

swa your-file.swa

Privacy and security

This extension contains only declarative language files and a small hover provider. It does not bundle executables, start processes, make network requests, collect telemetry, or change your PATH or shell configuration. It works in untrusted and virtual workspaces.
