Hoon for Zed

Local Zed language extension for the Hoon programming language, ported from the hoon-vscode extension.

Features

  • .hoon file association
  • :: line comments
  • Bracket matching / autoclose for {}, [], (), "", ''
  • Tree-sitter syntax highlighting via urbit-pilled/tree-sitter-hoon

Install as a dev extension

  1. Open Zed.
  2. Open the command palette → zed: extensions.
  3. Click Install Dev Extension and select this directory.

Zed will fetch and compile the Tree-sitter grammar on first install.

Notes on the language server

The VSCode extension shipped a hoon-language-server integration that talks to a running Urbit ship over HTTP (a non-stdio transport). Zed extensions launch LSPs as stdio subprocesses, so wiring it up here would require a shim. Not implemented.
