I find syntax-highlighted code far easier to read, in part because it becomes less just a blob of amorphous text. Our eyes are better at noticing blobs of text that are green than blobs of text which happen to be preceded by a "//" or some such.
- rhabarba 9y agoI find syntax highlighting to be quite distracting. There are reasons why it is still an option and not mandatory.
- anon335dtzbvc 9y agoThe best option is to have a option.
- reificator 9y agoAs long as I can use it, doesn't bother me at all that you don't. Doesn't affect the code at all.
- anon335dtzbvc 9y agoIts a open discussion, no bothering required
- btym 9y agoI found that line beyond pretentious. You don't need to "struggle with syntax" to find highlighting useful.
- jrs95 9y agoI actually find that this "blob of amorphous text" is helpful for me, I seem to read code more thoroughly with syntax highlighting off
