+# Custom language with your own extension and compile command in CMake
+
+This registers TypeScript CMake *language* (`TSLANG`) that:
+
+- owns its own source extension (`.ts`),
+- is built with **tslang --emit=obj**,
+- produces `.obj` files that CMake links automatically alongside regular C++.
+
+CMake then handles dependency tracking and incremental builds for `.ts`
+sources the same way it does for `.cpp`.
+
+## Layout
+
+```
+custom_lang/
+├── CMakeLists.txt
+├── cmake/
+│   ├── CMakeDetermineTSLANGCompiler.cmake
+│   ├── CMakeTSLANGCompiler.cmake.in
+│   ├── CMakeTSLANGInformation.cmake
+│   └── CMakeTestTSLANGCompiler.cmake
+├── main.cpp
+└── mycode.ts
+```
+
+## How it works
+
+- `enable_language(TSLANG)` runs `CMakeDetermineTSLANGCompiler.cmake`, which finds
+  `tslangc`, then loads `CMakeTSLANGInformation.cmake`, which registers the compile
+  rule (`CMAKE_TSLANG_COMPILE_OBJECT` — *tslang --emit=obj*).
+- Because `CMAKE_TSLANG_SOURCE_FILE_EXTENSIONS` contains `tslang`, any `.ts` source
+  is routed to your command and compiled to a `.obj`.
+- That `.obj` is added to the target and linked with `main.cpp`'s object using
+  the C++ linker (`CMAKE_TSLANG_LINK_EXECUTABLE`).
+- Change `mycode.ts` and only it recompiles.
+- Compile: `cmake --preset default && cmake --build --preset default`
+
+## Passing flags
+
+```cmake
+set(CMAKE_TSLANG_FLAGS "--opt_level=3")                       # global
+set_source_files_properties(mycode.ts PROPERTIES
+    COMPILE_OPTIONS "--define;TSLANG=1")                      # per-file
+```
+
+## Memory model
+
+The default library is compiled separately for each memory model, and a program has to link
+the build matching the model it was compiled with. One variable drives both:
+
+```
+cmake --preset default -DTSLANG_MEMORY_MODEL=rc
+```
+
+It selects `defaultlib/lib/<debug|release>/<model>` as the link directory and adds `-mm=<model>`
+to the compile flags, so the two cannot disagree. Valid values are `gc` (default), `rc` and
+`none`; only `gc` links Boehm.
+
+## Minimal alternative
+
+If you don't need a first-class language, either:
+
+- Mark a file as an already-built object and just link it:
+  `set_source_files_properties(mycode.obj PROPERTIES EXTERNAL_OBJECT TRUE GENERATED TRUE)`
+  and add it to `add_executable`, producing it with `add_custom_command`; or
+- Compile a differently-named file *as C++*:
+  `set_source_files_properties(mycode.tslang PROPERTIES LANGUAGE CXX)`.
+
+Use the typescript-language setup below when `.ts` is a source type you
+compile often and want CMake to treat as first-class.
