wax4vscode

A VS Code extension for the wax programming language. Provides syntax highlighting as well as IDE-like features.

wax is a tiny language designed to transpile to other languages easily. Currently supported backends: C, C++, Java, TypeScript, Python, C#, Swift, Lua, as well as directly to WebAssembly.

More about wax here, there's also an online playground.

Features

The extension assumes that waxc is installed in your PATH. If you use the 'run code' feature, the selected target language's compiler/interpreter is also assumed to be installed. e.g. gcc for C/C++, or python for Python, etc.
