Language-aware editing
Syntax highlighting, completions, symbol navigation, and hover information keep Zith code readable as projects grow.

Helios
The official IDE for Zith. Write, understand, and ship systems software in one focused environment.
// core_features
A workspace that speaks Zith.
Helios keeps the editor close to the language, so the path from source file to working program stays visible and direct.
Diagnostics in context
Compiler errors and suggestions appear where you work, with source locations that take you directly to the problem.
Project-first workflow
Open a Zith project, inspect its files, and use the same build, check, format, and run commands that power the CLI.
// compiler_bridge
Native integration with the Zith compiler.
Helios is designed around the Zith toolchain rather than treating it as an afterthought. It uses the language server for editor intelligence and speaks the same project configuration as the compiler.
- Run
zith checkand inspect diagnostics without leaving the editor. - Build, format, and run projects through the familiar Zith CLI workflow.
- Navigate symbols using compiler-backed language-server information.
