Hy Language Support for Visual Studio Code

Introduction

This extension adds Hy language support to VS Code. Features (presently) include basic syntax highlighting and the ability to evaluate expressions by sending them to a Hy REPL.

Features:

• Basic syntax highlighting
• Basic Hy code snippets
• Code evaluation shortcuts
• Improved syntax highlighting
• Paredit-style structural editing based on S-expressions (slurping, barfing, dragging, killing, rewrapping, splicing, raising, navigation, auto-balancing for parens and other wrappers [({""})])
• Auto-formatting on edit (esp. auto-indentation)

Planned features:

• Intellisense code completion for built-in Hy functions and macros
