Is there any plan to contribute to monaco-languages?

There's no Scala official support in https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-languages . Would you guys contribute to this repo soon?

is it complicated to do it?

Couldn't help but mention this, but I already did a while back. It could probably be improved upon (due to a dumb decision made by the person who merged my PR), however I think it's pretty good otherwise

For who ever want to follow up on this the source is now located at: https://github.com/microsoft/monaco-editor/blob/main/src/basic-languages/scala/scala.ts

I'm however wondering is this issue is still relevant? And is this the right project to adress this issue and not, for example, in the monaco-editor? The current implementation seems to be independend of this project.

Doesn't look like it's relevant, since the implementation is separate. Though ideally we would reuse the grammar here for the other project 🤔

[Jentsch]

The grammars don't look similar. There are some conceptional similarities but the JSON schema looks very different. If there is no automated translation between this two technologies, and I could find any mention in documentation of languages in monaco, I don't see how we could archive that with the grammar we have.
