$ zolo --version

$ echo 'print("Hello, Zolo!")' | zolo run -
Hello, Zolo!

VS Code Extension

Install the official extension for syntax highlighting, LSP autocompletion, DAP debugging and automatic formatting.

Install in VS Code View on Marketplace Download .vsix 76 MB

Don't double-click the .vsix — on Windows that opens the Visual Studio installer, which can't install VS Code extensions. Install it from your editor instead:

From the editor: Extensions ▸ ⋯ ▸ Install from VSIX…

Or from the terminal (code, cursor, windsurf…): 
code --install-extension [email protected]

Works in VS Code and its forks — Cursor, Antigravity, Windsurf, VSCodium…

Syntax Highlighting Code coloring with a theme optimized for Zolo
LSP — Language Server Autocomplete, hover docs, go-to-definition, find references
DAP — Debugger Breakpoints, watch, call stack — debug right in VS Code
Automatic Formatting Format on save with `zolo fmt`

Other Editors

Neovim

Configure via nvim-lspconfig with the zolo-lsp server

lspconfig.zolo.setup{}

Helix

Add to languages.toml with the language server path

[[language]]
name = "zolo"

Emacs
