Not able to add additional languages

Thanks for this fantastic plugin. I'm completely in love with it.

Lately I started to experiment with VimScript and therefore wanted to add a blogpost. Sadly, I'm not able to get the syntax highlighting to work.

When I try to install a vscode syntax highlighting project like https://github.com/dunstontc/viml with npm I get an error because it can't find vscode:

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! viml@0.1.7 postinstall: `node ./node_modules/vscode/bin/install`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the viml@0.1.7 postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

I think I'm probably missing something 😅 . What would be the recommended way to install another language?

You’re not missing something, the language author is! For some reason a bad practice of using a postinstall instead of a prepare script seems to have circulated widely around these VS Code extensions. I’ve fixed a number of them myself already. I don’t have time to fix this one myself at the moment, but you can do it by replicating this one on the viml repo.

Awesome! Thanks Andrew. Will try to tackle this on a calm evening this week. 🎉
