Synapse Language Support for Visual Studio Code

This extension provides comprehensive language support for Synapse, a proprietary programming language designed for deep scientific reasoning and parallel thought processing.

Features

Syntax Highlighting: Full syntax highlighting for .syn and .synapse files
Code Snippets: Common code patterns and structures
Language Configuration: Auto-closing pairs, comment toggling, and more
Custom Theme: Synapse Dark theme optimized for the language

Language Overview

Synapse is a next-generation programming language that combines:

Scientific computing capabilities
Parallel thought processing
Uncertainty quantification
Quantum computing integration
Advanced tensor operations

Installation

Open Visual Studio Code
Go to Extensions (Ctrl+Shift+X / Cmd+Shift+X)
Search for "Synapse Language Support"
Click Install

Usage

File Extensions

.syn - Synapse source files
.synapse - Alternative extension for Synapse files

Example Code

# Define a quantum computation
quantum circuit QubitProcessor {
    input: |0⟩ ⊗ |0⟩
    gates: [
        H(0),
        CNOT(0, 1),
        measure_all()
    ]
}

# Parallel processing with uncertainty
parallel compute DataAnalysis {
    branches: [
        α -> process_dataset_1(),
        β -> process_dataset_2(),
        γ -> process_dataset_3()
    ]
    merge: weighted_average
    uncertainty: ±0.05
}

# Tensor operations
tensor T = create_tensor([3, 4, 5])
result = T.contract(axis=1).normalize()
