Vidyax for VS Code
Official language support for Vidyax — an AI-first programming language (.vx).
Features
- Syntax highlighting for
.vx files
- Run button (▶) — run your Vidyax file directly (Ctrl+Alt+R)
- Language server — powered by
vidyax lsp, so the editor always matches the CLI:
- Live diagnostics — errors underlined as you type
- Completion — keywords, all built-in functions (with docs), and names in your file
- Hover — signature and description for built-in functions
- Outline — functions and top-level variables in the symbol list
Requirements
This extension needs the Vidyax interpreter installed and available on your
PATH (the vidyax command). Without it, Run and live error checking won't work.
Install Vidyax from: https://github.com/daffa2555/Vidyax
Usage
- Open or create a
.vx file
- Write Vidyax code — errors show up live
- Press the ▶ button (or Ctrl+Alt+R) to run
About
Built by NaDev. Vidyax is open source: https://github.com/daffa2555/Vidyax
Install (no build needed)
bash install.sh
Then reload VS Code: Ctrl+Shift+P -> Developer: Reload Window (or restart it).
Open any .vx file and the highlighting kicks in.
Manual install
Copy this folder into your VS Code extensions directory:
cp -r vidyax-vscode ~/.vscode/extensions/nadev.vidyax-0.0.1
(For VSCodium use ~/.vscode-oss/extensions/ instead.)

Files
package.json # extension manifest (declares the .vx language + grammar)
language-configuration.json # comments, brackets, indentation
syntaxes/vax.tmLanguage.json # the TextMate grammar (the actual highlighting rules)
install.sh # one-command installer
Building from source
The language-server client needs its npm dependency installed first:
npm install # fetches vscode-languageclient
vsce package # builds the .vsix (bundles node_modules)
Grammar highlighting still works without any of this; the language-server
features (diagnostics, completion, hover) require the vidyax CLI on PATH.
