Miking mode for Emacs

miking-emacs

This repo contains an Emacs mode for editing Miking code (MCore/MLang). Pull requests and issue reports are welcome!

To use the mode, add the following to your init.el file:

;; MCore mode
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/miking-emacs/")
(require 'mcore-mode)
(require 'miking-syn-mode)

(or run M-x eval-buffer in the file defining the mode)

Tree-sitter support

miking-emacs supports parser-based syntax highlighting and other features using the new tree-sitter support in Emacs 29. To utilize this functionality, first make sure your Emacs version is at least 29.0.60 and that (treesit-available-p) returns t. Then, build the tree-sitter-miking grammar by following the instructions here. Move the resulting libtree-sitter-mlang.so file to $HOME/.emacs.d/tree-sitter/, and you're good to go!

In Emacs, enable mcore-ts-mode instead of mcore-mode to get the extended functionality. You can make this automatic by extending auto-mode-alist like so.

;; Open “*.mc” in mcore-ts-mode
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.mc\\'" . mcore-ts-mode))

Opening a .mc-file, you should now see function names being highlighted. You can control the level of fontification using treesit-font-lock-level. For instance,

(setq-default treesit-font-lock-level 3)

will set a moderate level of fontification (3 is default; values in the range 1-4 are possible).

You can also explore the syntax tree of an MCore file using the treesit-explore-mode command, or get a mode line indication of your position in the tree using treesit-inspect-mode.
