PROFILE
Benjamin Friedman Wilson
Worked on the zowe/zowe-pli-language-support repository to enhance PL/I language tooling, focusing on language server robustness, cross-platform library resolution, and improved include directive handling. Delivered features such as DD-Style and DDName include support, recursive library resolution, and diagnostics improvements, using TypeScript and JavaScript for both front-end and full stack development. Addressed reliability by refining test frameworks and stabilizing configuration handling, which reduced test flakiness and improved feedback loops. Implemented comprehensive tests for Unix and Windows environments, prioritized include resolution, and expanded validation coverage, resulting in more accurate diagnostics and streamlined collaboration for developers working with PL/I codebases.

Nov 1, 2025Month: 2025-11 — Key feature delivered: Language Server now supports DD-Style Include directives for zowe/zowe-pli-language-support, including parsing and resolution for forms like %include a.b.c(member);, %include ddname(member);, and %include member;. Added support for ddname library entries in configuration and enhanced search to handle file and member lookups with ddname. Also includes AST and IncludeItem type refinements and diagnostics emission from plugin config. Major bug fix: Stabilized PLIPlugin initialization in the 4Slash testing framework, reducing duplicate library entries and flaky test runs by refining testbuilder config pre-parse. These changes were implemented in commits b365e0610a14440ce1ba841b140d7d3520d09622 and e09e81cc084dd32b8ceff2952d68a1ccbf51c239. Overall impact: stronger developer tooling, faster diagnostics, and more reliable tests, accelerating code changes and feedback. Technologies/skills demonstrated: TypeScript/JavaScript, Language Server Protocol (LSP) tooling, AST design, config-driven search and filesystem provider adaptation, and test framework stabilization.
