05/09/2023, 10:59 PMhey, just curious, does anyone know of an intellij plugin that uses a parser combinator library to provide code support for a language? My company has a custom language that we use as a business level DSL, and I want to make an intellij plugin to support syntax highlighting (and hopefully in the future more complex static analysis). However, I really don't want to have to rewrite the parsing/lexing in the BNF and JFlex formats that the tutorials detail.
Tangentially related, I was wondering, if a grammar was written using parser combinators in pure kotlin, could Kotlin multiplatform be used to publish targets for other platforms like JS?

There are other multiplatform parsers but without IntelliJ support.

Would be much nicer to maintain one grammar and be able to let IntelliJ handle the translation to its psi format
