Working with Hoon can be a bit ass, To start your environment use the following commands.

npm install -g hoon-language-server
./urbit -F zod
|mount %base
|start %language-server

Everyone’s editor is a bit different but here is the vim config I use.

call plug#begin('~/.vim/plugged')
Plug 'urbit/hoon.vim'
call plug#end()

if executable('hoon-language-server')
au User lsp_setup call lsp#register_server({
\ 'name': 'hoon-language-server',
\ 'cmd': ['hoon-language-server'],
\ 'whitelist': ['hoon'],
\ })
endif

You can begin to edit files once you’ve mounted the %base desk.

cd ./zod/base/gen
vim example.hoon

An example basic script looks like the following.

|=  a=@ud
%-  add  [a 5]

Once saved you can load it in zod and use it.

|commit %base
+example 5
