Joke as it is, to me it makes an self-contradicting point. If you look at the top highlighted code, there's a l0t of stuff there that I don't think adds any value. I certainly know of no work that suggests the 'excesses' (my words) of colouring help. My experience is that comment highlighting really do help, especially for commented-out code so you know it's dead, I'm much less sure about the rest. #include is red - it's graphically visual enough for that not to help, plus #inbcludes almost always live at the top. int and void are coloured another red, does that help? return is blue - does that help? Does colourising string literals help? I don't think so. Code ends up looking slightly gaudy, I don't feel that beyond a limited point it adds much. Opinions?
