  • scopeName: source.crisp
  • License: MIT OR Apache-2.0 (editors/vscode-crisp/package.json)
  • VS Code extension in the same tree: editors/vscode-crisp

Most popular extensions

  • .crp — Crisp source modules (primary)
  • .crpiextern rust sidecar signatures
  • Manifest: crisp.toml (not a source extension)

Collision: .crp is already used on GitHub by unrelated data (crop-model parameters, NLP corpora). A naive extensions: [".crp"] mapping would misclassify those files. A heuristic (or a distinct primary extension) is required. Distinct Crisp markers include extern rust, pub main(), crisp.toml in the same repo, and -- line comments with := bindings.

Detected language

None. GitHub Linguist does not list Crisp, so .crp files are ignored in language statistics. Repositories such as combustion-sim therefore show only Rust (a kernels/ sidecar) and Makefile, even though the PDE solver is written in Crisp.

Suggested languages.yml (no language_id)

yaml
Crisp:
  type: programming
  color: "#0E8A16"
  extensions:
    - ".crp"
    - ".crpi"
  tm_scope: source.crisp
  ace_mode: text
  aliases:
    - crisp-lang

Usage (honest)

This is a young language (Crisp 1.8.x). It does not yet meet the 2 000-files-per-extension bar in CONTRIBUTING.md. Indexed hits (approximate, GitHub code search):

  • filename:crisp.toml — on the order of 10²
  • extension:crp "pub main()" — on the order of 10²
  • Raw extension:crp is ~20 000, dominated by non-Crisp crop/corpus files

Please consider the Pending Popularity track rather than closing as a hobby-language PR. Happy to supply a heuristic and MIT-licensed samples from combustion-sim (src/core/field1d.crp, src/experiments/e06_slot.crp) when you are ready for a PR.
