This extension provides support for the Carbon Language.

This extension is currently experimental, and being developed alongside Carbon.

Quickstart

  1. Download and install a carbon release.
    • By default, the extension will look for carbon under ./bazel-bin. This is for developers actively working on Carbon and running VS Code inside a carbon-lang clone.
  2. Install the Carbon Language extension.
  3. Configure the installed path to carbon.

Configuration

The configuration is under carbon.*. At present, the only configuration is the path to the carbon binary. This looks like:

"carbon.carbonPath": "/path/to/carbon"

Communication

See Carbon's collaboration systems. We're most active on Discord and have a #editor-integrations channel. We'll also respond to questions on GitHub Discussions.

Documentation

Carbon currently only has project-level documentation. See the GitHub repository.
