Crack Language Support

This Visual Studio Code extension provides official language support for the Crack programming language.

Crack is a modern, general-purpose language that blends familiar syntax with a clean, expressive design. It aims to offer a balance between readability, power, and simplicity, making it suitable for a wide range of programming tasks.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for .krk files
• Language identification and activation
• Seamless file recognition and integration with VS Code

This extension is designed to be minimal yet functional, focusing on the core editing experience without adding unnecessary dependencies or complexity.

Language Goals

Crack is designed with a focus on developer productivity, modern code structure, and straightforward tooling. Its syntax and behavior are inspired by widely-used programming paradigms, allowing new users to get started quickly while offering depth for experienced developers.

File Extension

All Crack source files use the .krk extension. This extension ensures proper syntax highlighting and language detection for files written in Crack.

Installation

Available through the Visual Studio Code Marketplace. Once installed, this extension activates automatically for .krk files and requires no manual configuration.

Some examples

The Crack code would look something like:

let x = 2
const y = 4
function addition_tool (first_num: num, second_num: num) {
    return first_num + second_num
}
say 'Hello World"
say addition_tool(x, y)

# Output: 
# Hello World
# 6
