Lispex for VS Code

Syntax highlighting for the Lispex language — .lspx files.

This is a declarative extension: a TextMate grammar only. It colors Lispex source — the special forms (define, lambda, let, cond, case, …), the standard procedure set, booleans, character and number literals (with radix/exactness prefixes), strings with escapes, the line / block / datum comments of this macro-free R7RS-small Scheme, and quote/quasiquote punctuation. It does not provide a language server; run code in the browser playground at lispex.com or with the lispex CLI.

Install

• Marketplace / Open VSX — search "Lispex" in the Extensions view.

• From source — package it yourself:

  cd editors/vscode
  npx @vscode/vsce package
  code --install-extension lispex-*.vsix
  

Grammar

syntaxes/lispex.tmLanguage.json covers the special forms the interpreter recognises, the standard procedure set, #t / #f, #\char literals, #| … |# and #; comments, numbers with radix/exactness prefixes, and quote / quasiquote / unquote punctuation.
