@lildude oh whoops, sorry about that. Total accident. Will fix |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Linguist only accepts TextMate compatible grammars. This is mentioned a little further down in the CONTRIBUTING.md file. You should have encountered an error when attempting to add the grammar using the script/add-grammar script which should have alerted you to there being problems with the grammar repo.
The lines in script/list-grammars are for grammars maintained directly in the highlighting engine completely independently of Linguist. Only GitHub staff know which grammars these are which is why this list exists.
There is currently no way to submit tree-sitter grammars.
Please replace the grammar with a TextMate-compatible grammar.

@lildude I have added text mate grammars from the VSCode extension. I simply also added a link to the tree-sitter one that we ALSO have cause I saw that list there. But the thing linked as a sub module is indeed a textmate grammar. I can simply just remove the link from that list. It's not linked as a submodule. |
See #5756
If this is less likely to reach the usage requirements, then yes, remove it from this PR and add later when it does meet requirements. |

No problem. Let's wait and see. We're pretty close for both I believe. It'll be time soon. I'll keep this in sync with master in the meantime. |
supersedes #6520
Description
There was an attempt before to add this language but we decided that it's best to wait until the grammars stabilized. We have reached that point and a general availability release is imminent, so we felt it was appropriate to revisit this with a fresh pull request in favor of the one linked above.
It seems we have reached the appropriate thresholds and there are many repositories with Aiken source code. Untyped Plutus Core is the target lambda calculus that Aiken compiles to. The Aiken vscode extension packages a grammar for Untyped Plutus Core as well so it should already be included by including the Aiken grammar. Although Untyped Plutus Core isn't normally written by hand, it's highly human readable and seems to also be present in a substantial number of repositories. I've included Untyped Plutus Core within this pull request as a matter of convenience but if it's a no-go, then I can make the necessary adjustments.
Aiken is a fast growing smart contract programming language that targets the virtual machine inside of the Cardano network. It has become the de-facto standard for developing smart contracts on Cardano.
