Do you have fun integrating every new mode that you might like to use when you decide to open a source file for a new programming language?

- pklausler 11y agoI think that what you're trying to express is that I might be wasting some time implementing support for some syntax highlighting and code formatting features that are already present in other editors. Thank you for your concern. It hasn't been much of a problem since (1) I don't really used much syntax highlighting other than for reserved words, string literals and comments, and paired bracketing characters, (2) I rarely need to view or edit files besides C/C++/Haskell/bash/LaTeX, which I have support for, and (3) the editor works just fine on other files without fancy-pants modes anyway.
