Syntax Highlighting
.lifp files can be edited with tools supporting lisps. Common Lisp's syntax highlighters seem to work particularly well.
Some examples:
- in Vim you can just add the following modline at the end of your file
- in Visual Studio Code use the Common Lisp VSCode extension
Development
This project is written in C23, therefore you need LLVM 20 or newer.
