Official editor support for the Yin programming language.
Features
- syntax highlighting for
.yinfiles - live parser and type-checker diagnostics for unsaved documents
- canonical whole-document formatting
- exact diagnostic ranges and stable Yin diagnostic codes
The extension includes the Yin 0.8.0 language server and communicates with it locally over stdio. Source code is never sent to a remote service.
Requirement
Install Java 17 or newer. If java is not on PATH, set yin.java.path to the
full path of a compatible Java executable, then reload the VS Code window.
Formatting
Open a .yin file and run Format Document. To make Yin the default
formatter for the language, add:
"[yin]": {
"editor.defaultFormatter": "smallyunet.yin-language-support"
}
Current scope
Yin 0.8.0 provides diagnostics and formatting. Hover, completion, and go to definition are planned for later editor-service releases.
