How does this differ to a generic pseudocode interpreter?

I'm doing CAIE, and saw CAIE-Code-Extension. However, how does it differ to something like Willumz/generic-pseudocode-vscode (which is more popular by 44 000 downloads)?

Well... These repos (CAIE_Code) are focusing on CAIE's A-Level & IGCSE syllabus while Willumz's is more generic as the repo name said. We would like to help CIE students practice their pseudocode in a simple way. The syntax of this repo always keeps close with the syllabus.

It might be a little bit early for those Grade 9 students to use a generic pseudocode.

@lightumcc, so is there special syntax highlighting, etcetera, that wouldn't be available elsewhere?

CAIE-Code-Extension provides syntax highlighting that follows the syllabus, but not the LSP aka error detection or auto-completion, since students should remember the syntax on their own, in my opinion. You could download and try it by yourself.

But it mainly provides a button to call the CAIE_Code bootstrap to execute the .cpc file.
