airscript-syntax-highlighter README

This is a Virtual Studio Code extension for the AirScript language, used in STARKS proof systems.

Features

• Basic syntax highlighting for .air files
• Inline syntax highlighting for .js and .ts files :
  • write airscript templates as

  const template = /*airscript*/`some code with ${variables}`;

  • example :

        import { instantiateScript } from '@guildofweavers/genstark';
    
        const steps = 64;
        const fooSource = /*airscript*/`
            define Foo over prime field (2^32 - 3 * 2^25 + 1) {
    
                secret input startValue: element[1];
    
                // define transition function
                transition 1 register {
                    for each (startValue) {
                        init { yield startValue; }
                        for steps [1..${steps-1}] { yield $r0 + 2; }
                    }
                }
    
                // define transition constraints
                enforce 1 constraint {
                    for all steps { enforce transition($r) = $n; }
                }
            }
        `;
        
        // define a STARK for this computation
        const fooStark = instantiateScript(Buffer.from(fooSource));
    
        // create a proof that if we start computation at 1, we end up at 127 after 64 steps
        const assertions = [
            { register: 0, step: 0,  value: 1n   },  // value at first step is 1
            { register: 0, step: steps-1, value: 127n }   // value at last step is 127
        ];
    
        const proof = fooStark.prove(assertions, [[1n]]);
    
        // verify that if we start at 1 and run the computation for 64 steps, we get 127
        const result = fooStark.verify(assertions, proof);
        console.log(result); // true
