Description

Language name

ArkScript

URL of example repository

Examples are hosted here: https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/Ark/tree/dev/examples

Also here (the standard library) https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/std

URL of syntax highlighting grammar

A basic highlighting syntax is available here: https://github.com/ArkScript-lang/ArkScript-VSC/blob/master/syntaxes/arkscript.tmLanguage.json

Most popular extensions

The single extension used for the language is .ark; others, such as .arkm (an ArkScript module, compiled as a DLL/SO/DYNLIB) or .arkc (ArkScript compiled file, a bytecode), are not meant to be published and can not be highlighted (because they are binary files).

Detected language

.ark is in ArkScript
