CLaunch Language Modules

Overview

This repository contains language modules for CLaunch.

You can:

• Update an existing language module
• Create a new language module

Development Environment

The language project is created for Microsoft Visual Studio 2026.
Visual Studio 2026 can coexist with older versions on the same machine, so installing it will not affect your existing development environments.
For non-commercial use, the Visual Studio Community Edition can be used free of charge.
