I've announced this on boost-build but I think folks here may find it useful as well.

I've published an extension for VSCode with a brave attempt to color-hightlight syntax of Jam language: https://github.com/mloskot/vscode-boost-jam This is based on a very basic TextMate language grammar definitions, often naive, and, by no means, it is complete or bug-free coverage of the Jam. Even so, I think it quite helps to de-annoy or even enjoy process of writing Jam scrips :-) I'm no expert of writing TextMate language grammars - this is my first ever attempt - so chances are I may be incapable of fixing bugs or improving it with advanced features. Especially, that "the process of writing a TextMate language grammar remains poorly documented" - http://www.apeth.com/nonblog/stories/textmatebundle.html Best regards, -- Mateusz Loskot, http://mateusz.loskot.net
