In order to get the extension to support a new language, you'll need the following:
- Test runner and CLI command to run test runner
- Parser for test runner output (eg. TAP, JSON) that can determine if tests passed or return the failure message
- Load prism markdown highlighting styles
TODO: A simple way to package all three together would be ideal.
There are no known issues at this time.
