BrightScript syntax for SublimeText 3 and 4

This is reimplementation of BrightScript syntax for SublimeText.

It started as a change to syntax file provided by Roku, but after converting format and rewriting whole thing to add some basic, opinionated syntax checking, not much was left from the original.

Features

• very basic checks for common mistakes:
  • opinionated: function should have return type declared, sub cannot
  • inline functions and sub cannot have names
  • variable name alone in line is an error
• errors are highlighted
• supports new optional chaining operators
• marks syntax with additional (compared to original) Sublimes' classes, which enables code folding and other built-in features
• drops support for bs file extension, because it was taken by BrighterScript which is not supported (at least for now)

Installation (manual)

Use menu "Preferences" -> "Browse Packages..." to open packages directory. Enter User subdirectory and copy BrightScript.sublime-syntax and BrightScript_comments.tmPreferences files there.

If you want to modify the syntax, it might help to also copy syntax_test_BrightScript.brs file to the same directory.

Installation (Package Control)

TODO: make this a proper SublimeText package so it can be installed with Package Control.
