Hi Sunish,

Good to hear. Age is just a number. Yes we could make a separate repository on 
Jallib on Github.

I like your agile approach in starting with highlighting first.

Good luck with your initiative. If you have something I could test just let me 
know.

Met vriendelijke groet,
Rob Jansen

Thank you Sunish, I also think you are the best man for this project!

Well, I'm using Visual Studio Code in developing STM32 projects. My Visual Pin 
Configurator application generates projects for VSCode, including the required 
configuration files in the hidden folder needed by VSCode. For Jal I use Geany 
IDE, but no problem in switching to an already very familiar IDE.

Dear Rob,

I have already started to work on it, trying hard to understand the nitty 
gritties.

IIRC I had posted about it long back stating that would be the way to go. Yes 
JS/Node knowledge etc is required. We can start with syntax highlighting and 
gradually add other features.

I'm in, though I would be able to work in a limited way only on weekends.
We can setup a repo on jaliib and start to work, my git and jal experience is 
too limited and now with age, learning speed is again limited :-)

But I'm all for going ahead with making a jal extension for VSCode.

Kind regards,
Sunish

Hi all,

This message was posted on Jallist and Jallib.

I have the following suggestion and am looking for somebody who wants to pick 
up the challenge.

Nowadays we have 2 JAL Editors/Integrated Development Environments, JalEdit and 
JALIDE from the hard work of Sunish and Despx.

The 'problem' is that these are Windows based and we also have Linux and MAC 
users. Next to that time has passed and so there are new options we can explore.

It was suggested some time ago to use Notepad++. I did some tests with syntax 
highlighting and starting the compiler from Notepad++ and that partly works but 
it not the solution. It remains a text editor.

So here my suggestion:

We should create a JAL IDE using Visual Studio Code. It is free, multi platform 
(Windows, Linux. Mac) and offers a lot of features like:
-) A very nice editor made for writing programs
-) Syntax highlighting
-) Snippits (not sure if we need them)
-) Intellisense (autocomplete)
-) Scripts (I assume we can start the compiler using these)

You can make your own JAL extension to make it exactly matching the JAL 
programming language. Once you have this you can make the extension public and 
share it with the rest of the world via the extensions market place. And if you 
want you can install all kind of extensions yourself, e.g. code beautifiers 
that nicely indent your code.

See: https://code.visualstudio.com/

The only issue is that you need Javascript knowledge  to make the JAL extension 
(if  I understood that right) and there is some code generation possible but 
you have to build the customization yourself. This is not my field of expertise 
(yet).

Up to know I think this is the best jAL IDE alternative covering all platforms 
with a very professional user interface  and user experience.

So I was wondering if there is anybody who wants to pick up the challenge of 
creating a Visual Studio Code JAL extension.

Kind regards,

Rob
