Is there any highlighter reference implementation? I couldn't find any.

You, as the user of this language, have to make the syntax highlighting yourself. You don't understand the language well enough to do this. You have no real usage of this language. Why do you want to waste other people's time and effort on this useless task?

The first thing you can do to prove me wrong is to list all of the keywords of this language.

@jezek2 could you give us some help providing the basics of the language grammars? keywords, strings, comments, numeric literals, etc. Documentation does not seem complete enough to get all this information. The language looks interesting, it deserves editor support. Thanks

FixScript is an extensible language so the list here is for the base language and the official extensions only. A feature where an user could supply their own keywords per file/folder/project would be nice.

In the future LSP server will be probably available, but I focus on working on FixIDE first. Formatting would be highly problematic due to the extensive nature and probably not provided. At least I'm not sure how it could work with custom extensions (there can be an API for formatting, but not sure about the actual processing).

File extension: .fix Comments: classic // and /* */ Symbols: the table (include also the unused ones as they're used by extensions) Operator symbols: the table in this section (the <=> don't need to be specifically handled) Char literals: in single quotes, either with one character or up to 4 chars in LATIN1 ("fourcc") String literals: in double quotes Char/string escapes: https://www.fixscript.org/docs#literals Integer literals: in decimal or hexadecimal (starting with 0x) Float literals: the usual format (eg. 0.123e-45), can't start with just dot Predefined constants: true, false, null

@jezek2 awesome, thank you very much, I'll implement it soon.
