Description
Why this should be a language in Linguist
Power Query (M) is Microsoft’s functional data transformation language used in Power BI, Excel Power Query, Dataflows, and other tooling. It is a distinct language with its own syntax, keywords, operators, and evaluation model.
File extensions
Recommended (non-ambiguous):
.pq.pqm
Notes on .m:
.mis heavily ambiguous on GitHub (multiple languages share it), so I am not requesting.mby default in the initial proposal. If maintainers prefer,.msupport could be handled later via heuristics or limited contexts.
Existing TextMate grammar (for syntax highlighting)
Microsoft maintains an existing TextMate grammar for Power Query / M:
- Repo: https://github.com/microsoft/powerquery-language
- Grammar source:
PowerQuery.YAML-tmLanguage - Generated:
PowerQuery.tmLanguage+PowerQuery.tmLanguage.json - Scope:
source.powerquery - FileTypes declared in grammar:
pq,pqm
This grammar is actively maintained and intended for editor syntax highlighting consumption.
