It's the opposite of syntax highlighting, it's highlighting which is syntax.
- __david__ 12y agoI guess I'm saying I don't see the distinction. How would you store that highlighting to disk?
- tobr 12y agoIn a .pdf? In seriousness, I think this kind of extreme highlighting could be an important step in making programming more accessible. There are only so many characters like ,;:.()[]{}<> available to use in code, and often most of them indicate completely different things in different places. Done the right way, and combined with live evaluation á la Bret Victor or the Swift playground, I think this has the potential to be the next paradigm of accessible programming, after Excel.
