The plugin supports two syntax modes: BoxLang Script (.bx, .bxs) for classes and business logic, and BoxLang Templates (.bxm) for markup-based views. Key features include recognition of 200+ built-in functions, BoxLang-specific operators (bitwise, safe navigation, elvis), HTML integration in templates, expression interpolation highlighting, and code folding. Installation is supported via lazy.nvim, vim-plug, Vundle, or manual setup. Future plans include LSP integration, a snippet library, DAP debugger support, and TreeSitter-based semantic highlighting. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
