## Status

Toy project. Abandoned. Using the Motoko LSP is a better option.

VS code has [an extension](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dfinity-foundation.vscode-motoko) for this.

## Features

Parses almost all the Motoko grammar from early 2021.

Motoko is the language used by the [Internet Computer](https://dfinity.org/), a crypto decentralized datacenter project.
