Jamie Shorten

Over a two-month period, this developer enhanced language tooling in both the macvim-dev/macvim and helix-editor/helix repositories by implementing robust support for the Concerto Modelling Language. They addressed a longstanding gap in macvim by enabling detection and syntax highlighting for .cto files through Vim scripting and schema language integration, aligning with the Concerto language specification. In Helix, they developed Tree-sitter grammar definitions and queries using Rust and Scheme, enabling accurate highlighting, indentation, and scope tracking for Concerto models. Their work improved editing workflows and reduced modeling errors, supporting smart legal contract and business network development with modern language tooling.

In May 2026, Helix editor delivery focused on expanding language tooling by adding first-class support for the Concerto Modelling Language. This enables .cto data-model files to be authored, highlighted, and navigated within the editor, aligning with smart legal contracts and business network modeling needs. The work enhances developer productivity and reduces modeling errors by providing integrated syntax highlighting, indentation, and local scope tracking.

March 2026 monthly summary for macvim development: Delivered a feature enhancement to Concerto Modelling Language support by adding detection of .cto files as the Concerto filetype. This fixes a long-standing gap where .cto files were unrecognized and enables proper syntax highlighting and editing workflows in macvim. The change was implemented via patch 9.2.0217 in commit 68f9dedba46b4e6625459d94342a2e2c7f5b17b7, with references to the Accord Project language spec and tree-sitter grammar. This work closes issue #19760 and involved collaboration with Jamie Shorten and Christian Brabandt. Overall, the improvement enhances developer productivity when working with Concerto-based smart contracts and modeling data, aligning with business goals.
