Supported languages

PairPilot should work well with most popular coding languages. This is because top LLMs are fluent in most mainstream languages, and familiar with popular libraries, packages and frameworks.

PairPilot has specific support for linting many languages. By default, PairPilot runs the built in linter any time a file is edited. If it finds syntax errors, PairPilot will offer to fix them for you. This helps catch small code issues and quickly fix them.

PairPilot also does code analysis to help the LLM navigate larger code bases by producing a repository map. PairPilot can currently produce repository maps for many popular mainstream languages, listed below.

How to add support for another language

PairPilot should work quite well for other languages, even those without repo map or linter support. You should really try coding with PairPilot before assuming it needs better support for your language.

That said, if PairPilot already has support for linting your language, then it should be possible to add repo map support. To build a repo map, PairPilot needs the tags.scm file from the given language’s tree-sitter grammar. If you can find and share that file in a GitHub issue, then it may be possible to add repo map support.

If PairPilot doesn’t support linting, it will be complicated to add linting and repo map support. That is because PairPilot relies on py-tree-sitter-languages to provide pre-packaged versions of tree-sitter parsers for many languages.

PairPilot needs to be easy for users to install in many environments, and it is probably too complex to add dependencies on additional individual tree-sitter parsers.
