Colorforth not only does this but solved the colorblind problem by switching fonts.

  I don't think colorforth "solved the colorblind problem" considering it has almost no adoption. Does anyone except Chuck Moore uses it? It has a fallback for colorblind people, which is better than nothing but is still terrible. The current way, plain text with everyone free to use syntax highlighters that change the color, font, or anything of the text is fine and works very well. I've heard about AST-based source of truth, and I think this could fix syntax mistakes while still allowing people to edit plain text as they wish (and could also simplify visual programming tools. Maybe unlock a smooth transition from low-code tools to regular code?).

    If something is terrible then comparatively you must have a better solution around.
