I don't think it's very hard. For instance, https://github.com/brettcannon/vscode-zephyr-asdl is what it takes to add syntax highlighting for ASDL. It pretty much is writing regexes to do accurate capturing of what you want to highlight and assigning semantic meaning. And if there is already an extension that highlights that file (or even Grammar) then if I ever get around to creating a python-dev extension it can associate the file appropriately even without a file extension (i.e. the extension says `Grammar/Grammar` is of type "EBNF"). And I will say I have a bunch of ideas on a python-dev extension for VS Code (most of which is configuration and thus not complicated; integrating Buildbot status is actually the only thing that would require a lot of coding), but as with most things it requires having the time to do it. :) > On Tue, Mar 3, 2020 at 6:44 PM Brett Cannon br...@python.org wrote: > > https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=brettcannon.zephyr-asdl > > Basically syntax highlighting and automatic bracket matching for those > > that ever have to work with Python.asdl.
