Thread down environment module from cli down to the type-checker
We simply provide a flag with a free-form output which acts as
  the module to lookup in the 'env' folder. The strategy is to replace
  the environment module name on-the-fly when a user tries to import
  'env'.

  If the environment isn't found, an 'UnknownModule' error is raised
  (which I will slightly adjust in a following commits to something more
  related to environment)

  There are few important consequences to this design which may not seem
  immediately obvious:

  1. We parse and type-check every env modules, even if they aren't
     used. This ensures that code doesn't break with a compilation error
     simply because people forgot to type-check a given env.

     Note that compilation could still fail because the env module
     itself could provide an invalid API. So it only prevents each
     modules to be independently wrong when taken in isolation.

  2. Technically, this also means that one can import env modules in
     other env modules by their names. I don't know if it's a good or
     bad idea at this point but it doesn't really do any wrong;
     dependencies and cycles are handlded all-the-same.

Aiken Language Server Protocol (LSP)

The aiken command-line comes built-in with a Language Server implementing (part of) the Language Server Protocol.

Getting Started

General

Regardless of your IDE, you'll likely need the following information to configure your language client:

  • command: aiken lsp

    Note The command is hidden from the command-line help usage

  • root pattern: aiken.toml

  • filetype: aiken (.ak)

VsCode

Simply install the VSCode Aiken extension from the official marketplace.

NeoVim

If you're using NeoVim and using nvim-lspconfig then there's almost nothing to do as Aiken is directly supported. Simply follow the official instructions

Supported Capabilities

  • Document syncing and on-the-fly compilation
  • Document formatting (akin to aiken fmt)
  • Go-to definition
  • Type annotation on hover
  • Code actions providing quickfixes for a variety of errors:
    • aiken::check::unknown::variable
    • aiken::check::unknown::type
    • aiken::check::unknown::type_constructor
    • aiken::check::unknown::module
