AtLang VSCode Extension

A Visual Studio Code extension providing syntax highlighting and basic language support for AtLang (@).

Features

• Syntax Highlighting
  Colors and styles for AtLang keywords, variables, strings, etc.

• Basic Snippets (Coming Soon)
  Quick insertion of common AtLang constructs, like environment variable assignments and print statements.

• Inline Diagnostics (Coming Soon)
  Planned support for catching simple syntax errors (e.g., missing braces or quotes).

• IntelliSense (Coming Soon)
  Possible future expansion for auto-completions and symbol suggestions.

Requirements

• Visual Studio Code (latest recommended).

Note: This extension is only for editing/authoring AtLang code, not for running it directly in VSCode.

Extension Settings

No user-configurable settings yet. Future versions might include:

• Toggle advanced highlighting features.
• Enable or disable code diagnostics.

Known Issues

• Limited Grammar Coverage
  AtLang's full grammar is not yet implemented. This means some valid constructs might not be highlighted properly.
• No Real-Time Error Reporting
  While simple syntax checks will come, we currently don't have an integrated parser or language server.

Installation

1. Install from VSIX

   • Download the .vsix file for the AtLang extension.
   • In VSCode, open the Extensions view (Ctrl+Shift+X or Cmd+Shift+X), click the "⋮" menu, then "Install from VSIX..." and select the .vsix.

2. Reload

   • After installation, reload or restart VSCode to activate the extension.

3. Open an AtLang File

   • Syntax highlighting should be automatically applied.
