Migrating from ReasonML codebase to Rescript felt like a major downgrade, the IDE with the current highlighting feels like I’m editing in notepad, it takes a lot of mental effort to process that exactly is going on.

Can we vote on the proposed PR or something? It’s been 8 months… Having flawed highliting is better than having none at all, grammar correctness is good and all but at the current state of affairs it almost feels like the IDE integration is broken.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. Do you mean this issue Add type, external, let word coloring && unit as constant by Faliszek · Pull Request #85 · rescript-lang/rescript-vscode (github.com) in particular?

Hi Hongbo, on unrelated note, thanks for amazing work you’ve done for the community, been using ReasonML for the last three years and really appreciate your efforts, really enjoyed it.

Yep, that’s the PR I’ve been talking about.

Indeed, it seems that the editor repo needs some more love from contributors.
The core part of editor plugin (the semantics part) is maintained by @cristianoc while the syntax highlighting part used to be maintained by @chenglou .

In general, we need some more maintainers to help, if you have some experience in past contributions and would like to share some responsibilities, you are welcome to PM so that we can share some workload with each other.
