Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 27 2023 at 17:07): Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 27 2023 at 17:07):Hi all, I've started working on a syntax highliter for *.wit using TextMate suggested by VSCode and a VSCode extension. My goal is to publish it so that we get proper syntax highligher rendering in multiple text editors, including vim, emacs, vscode, and GH markdown. Bonus point for getting Github code review rendering working.
I am a newbie on writing something like this and it will take some time. I would greatly appreciate if people can confirm that we don't have other people working on the same thing right now! :pray:
Stay tuned and will update on this stream when it's availble to try out!
Peter Huene (Mar 27 2023 at 17:47):Awesome, thanks Mossaka! Happy to help test when you're ready.
Lann Martin (Mar 27 2023 at 18:49):I wrote this long ago if it's at all helpful reference: https://github.com/lann/vscode-wit/
Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 27 2023 at 18:55):Oh nice! I will take a look later
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 28 2023 at 21:58):I also have something I was working on that I think is in a pretty good state instead of having to start from scratch. @Mossaka (Joe) , I think we should ask for a repo in the bytecode alliance GitHub organization to concentrate the effort in one place, right?
Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 28 2023 at 22:02):Agreed! That's great.
FYI @Bailey Hayes we probably need a repo in the BCA organization to put this effort in one place.
Bailey Hayes (Mar 29 2023 at 08:01):Nice! What should it be called?
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 29 2023 at 08:37):i think we should call it wit-idl
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 29 2023 at 14:59):In the meantime, here is a sneak peek of the vscode extension: wit-idl-0.0.1.vsix

Just tried this. This is awesome and it looks like it covers the most up-to-date syntax of WIT! Great work @Eduardo Rodrigues It seems like I don't need to finish my syntax highlighter anymore
Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 31 2023 at 05:52):
I've noticed that the highlighters for import's name and export's name are slightly different. Is that intentional?
Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 31 2023 at 05:55):It seems like the union type has made it not work for interfaces and worlds that are defined after the first interface image.png
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 31 2023 at 07:27):The import and export are different on purpose because they are following the same convention as set in the typescript grammar
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 31 2023 at 07:28):For the second one, it is definitely a bug
Mossaka (Joe) (Mar 31 2023 at 21:51):I can help to fix it if you have the source code published somewhere
Eduardo Rodrigues (Mar 31 2023 at 22:24):the bug has been fixed now i believe. there you go: https://github.com/eduardomourar/wit-idl
Eduardo Rodrigues (Apr 05 2023 at 22:56):A few improvements have been made to the VSCode extension and a new version has been released: https://github.com/eduardomourar/wit-idl/releases/download/wit-idl-v0.0.6/wit-idl-v0.0.6.vsix
Ralph (Apr 10 2023 at 14:16):@Djordje Lukic I think you have one, too, right? Have a look at @Eduardo Rodrigues's version -- let's see if we can bring people together!
Eduardo Rodrigues (Apr 14 2023 at 17:51):We have a public repository for the WIT extension here: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/vscode-wit and we are working to get that published to the Visual Studio Marketplace.
Ralph (Apr 14 2023 at 18:11):already using it, already happy. Hey, are you thinking of adding tooltips to structures, to help people to learn what values represent?
Eduardo Rodrigues (Apr 14 2023 at 18:37):Not in the short-term because that requires a language server and AFAIK we don’t have one for WIT at this moment.
Ralph (Apr 14 2023 at 18:47):we'd better get on that, methinks. :-)
Eduardo Rodrigues (Jun 23 2023 at 19:25):We finally have syntax highlighting for WIT available in github: https://github.com/bytecodealliance/vscode-wit/issues/7#issuecomment-1604764911
