First step of the "stop feeling like C" pass. Bitwise ops were functions (`band(x, MASK)`, `shl(a, 3)`); they are now real operators: band -> & bor -> | bxor -> ^ shl -> << shr -> >> bnot -> ~ Precedence is Go-style so the C footgun is gone: `<<`/`>>`/`&` bind like `*`, `|`/`^` like `+`, both tighter than comparison — `flags & MASK == 0` parses as `(flags & MASK) == 0`. `>>` is logical (lshr), matching the old `shr`. Mechanics: lexer tokenizes `<< >> & | ^ ~`; p_mul takes `<< >> &`, p_add takes `| ^`, p_unary takes `~`; emit_bin routes them through the existing int arith path (arith_code gains and/or/xor/shl/lshr) and E_UN handles `~`. The six intrinsics are deleted. Delivered as two reseeds: (A) add the operators keeping the intrinsics, (B) migrate every call site to operator form (85 lines across compiler + runtime, via a balanced-paren call->operator script; two multi-line big-endian reads in image/truetype done by hand) and delete the intrinsics. Vocabulary drops the six from LUDIC_INTRINSICS (ludic_syntax.h, grammar, LudicTokens.kt) and the grammar gains a bitwise-operator rule. LANGUAGE.md precedence table rewritten. Reseeded (21724 lines); C-free fixpoint holds; goldens byte-identical (the PNG and TrueType decoders lean on these ops); 17/17; vocab + doc-fences clean.

Ludic for VS Code
Syntax highlighting, formatting, and full language-server support for Ludic,
the AI-first, ECS-native game language. See LANGUAGE.md in the Ludic repository
for the language reference.
What you get
| Source | |
|---|---|
| Syntax highlighting | TextMate grammar, works with no build |
| Semantic highlighting | ludic-lsp — real name resolution, so a component reads differently from a local |
| Diagnostics | structural errors as you type; ludicc's own errors on save |
| Completion | context-aware: fields after ., components inside query [...], phases after phase, widgets inside ui |
| Hover | signatures and docs for builtins, intrinsics, and everything you declared |
| Go to definition / references / rename | across every file in the compilation unit, following import |
| Formatting | format-on-save, comment-preserving |
| Outline, folding, inlay hints, signature help | |
```ludic fences in Markdown |
highlighted, checked, and formatted |
Setup
Build the toolchain once, from the repository root:
./tools/build-tools.sh
That produces build/ludic-lsp and build/ludic-fmt, which the extension finds
on its own. If you keep them elsewhere, set ludic.server.path.
Format on save:
"[ludic]": { "editor.formatOnSave": true }
Settings
ludic.server.path— whereludic-lsplives. Empty = searchbuild/, thenPATH.ludic.server.enabled— turn the server off and keep only static highlighting.ludic.compilerPath— whereludicclives, for on-save diagnostics.ludic.compilerDiagnostics— whether to run the compiler at all.ludic.indentSize— spaces per level for the formatter.ludic.trace.server— log LSP traffic (Ludic: Show Language Server Log).
Installing without publishing
cd tools/editors/vscode
npm install
npx @vscode/vsce package
code --install-extension ludic-1.0.0.vsix
