Vala Sublime Text Plugin

ARCHIVED: Please fork and carry on work elsewhere.

Goals

• Improved syntax highlighting with the latest language changes, using sublime-syntax definitions
  • Genie syntax highlighting
• Completions with the latest language changes using sublime-completions definitions
• Updated code snippets using sublime-snippet defintions. e.g prop should output public string prop_name { get; set; } and propfull should also get and set their own scope to define behaviours
• Include a Lazy build system that uses valac to build a program using all the .vala files the current directory and subdirectories, to a build/ folder
  • A "default lazy Compile to C" Build option
  • Have custom build settings that allow compiler args to be configured like packages to include, compile methods etc.
  • Option to Run compiled program

Syntax Highlighting Implementation Progress

This uses the Sublime Text C# syntax definitions as a base so there are fewer things to implement then usual

• Documentation comments (Valadoc)
• Using statement list syntax
• Add tests for Generics
• CCode Attributes
