The most intriguing version I've heard of this was also based on the feeling that it's already easy to scan for keywords and structure; they went a different direction, using color to make different things (especially confusable ones) look different: https://wordsandbuttons.online/lexical_differential_highlighting_instead_of_syntax_highlighting.html https://wordsandbuttons.online/lexical_differential_highligh... I don't feel like I know how/if highlighting helps, so all I can really say is seems interesting. I think some of the problems commenters are having with the color scheme are because the site has a dark mode and contrast might be worse when it's on. Maybe in that mode text colors meant for a dark background are still getting applied in the white-backgrounded code fragments.
