However I'm not sure I want oblique attribute names either, nor bold keywords. I seem to just want colors and nothing else. And I have dabbled in going free of highlighting, Rob Pike-style. https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/hJHCAaiL0so/m/kG3BHV6QFfIJ https://groups.google.com/g/golang-nuts/c/hJHCAaiL0so/m/kG3B...
- giraffe_lady 2y agoYeah it's valid. I have some cognitive limitations that makes it hard to attach meaning to colors so they are mostly distracting for me. So I've gone almost completely in the other way, my theme (based on nano-emacs) uses only one color plus black and grey. It uses typographic distinctions like font weight and style instead. It feels like the last few years there's been some interest in this as an underexplored channel for information in code editors, so (unfortunately for you and good for me) I'd expect to see even more of it in the future. https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs
- benatkin 2y agoI might like bold but only if the colors are dialed down. I have never really given mixing in cursive fonts a chance, so maybe I should try it (don't knock it before you try it).
