NLS - Nature Language Server

This is the LSP (Language Server Protocol) server implementation for the nature programming language, which includes both the server (nls) and VSCode client components.

Features

The current version corresponds to nature version 0.5.x and implements:

• Semantic highlighting
• Syntax checking
• Type checking
• Package dependency management
• Multi-workspace support
• Platform-specific module resolution

Code completion features are planned for future releases.

Building

This project is implemented in Rust. To build the project:

bash cargo build --release

This will generate the nls executable.

Installation

VSCode Extension

The LSP client can be downloaded from the VSCode extension marketplace by searching for "nature language".

Server Installation

The nls LSP server needs to be installed in /usr/local/nature/bin. The VSCode client will automatically detect and launch the server from this path.

Note: The nls executable is also bundled in the nature-lang release package. If you have already installed nature-lang in /usr/local/nature, no additional server installation is required.

Debugging

Launch configurations are provided for VSCode in .vscode/launch.json for debugging both the client and server components.
