Hello Nice work! I have an idea, how about replacing XTherion with a Visual Studio Code extension? Let's skip the part where we develop a whole new editor, we could just use an existing editor, and enhance it with a capability to run Therion compilation and with an integrated wtherion for scrap editing. Do you think it would be possible to run wtherion in such a way?
