Description

If we break the few dependencies that the sync system and preproc systems have directly on vscode, then they can be bundled into a standalone executable for users of other editors to make use of.

Essentially splitting this project into 3 parts.

  • Vscode wrapper
  • Standalone wrapper
  • Sync and PreProc core

Currently, I plan to implement this using Deno

But Bun would be a workable alternative. Node is also adding single executable support, but i believe that is still in experimental mode.

Research direction

Start by mapping the sync and preprocessor systems' direct dependencies on VS Code, then compare the proposed VS Code wrapper, standalone wrapper, and shared core boundaries. Evaluate Deno first, with Bun as an alternative, and consider the work done when the sync and preprocessor can be bundled for users of other editors without the VS Code wrapper.
