Script Language VS Code Extension

Official VS Code extension for the Script programming language - an AI-native language with production-grade generics, pattern matching, and memory safety.

This extension provides language support for the Script programming language in VS Code and Cursor.

Features

• 🎨 Syntax Highlighting: Full syntax highlighting for all Script language constructs
• 🔧 Language Configuration: Auto-closing brackets, comment toggling, smart indentation
• 📁 File Recognition: .script files automatically recognized
• 🎯 Language ID: Proper script language identifier for other extensions
• 💡 Coming Soon: Language Server Protocol support (85% complete)

3. Select the downloaded file

Method 3: Build from Source

1. Copy the vscode-script-extension folder to your VS Code extensions directory:

   • Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.vscode\extensions\
   • macOS/Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions/
   • Cursor: Same locations but replace .vscode with .cursor

2. Restart VS Code/Cursor

Usage

Once installed:

• .script files will be recognized with the script language ID
• Syntax highlighting will work automatically
• File icons will appear in the explorer (may need icon theme support)

Configuration

To improve icon support with popular icon themes:

Material Icon Theme:

"material-icon-theme.languages.associations": {
  "script": "javascript"
}

vscode-icons:

"vsicons.associations.files": [
  { "icon": "script", "extensions": ["script"], "format": "svg" }
]

Syntax Examples

// Function definition
fn main() {
    print("Hello, Script!")
}

// Variables and types
let name: string = "Script"
let version: f32 = 0.5
let features = ["generics", "pattern matching", "memory safety"]

// Pattern matching
match result {
    Ok(value) => print("Success: ${value}"),
    Err(error) => print("Error: ${error}")
}

// Generics
fn map<T, U>(items: Array<T>, transform: fn(T) -> U) -> Array<U> {
    // Implementation
}

// Async/await
async fn fetch_data(url: string) -> Result<string, Error> {
    let response = await http_get(url)
