It's not like they broke git, or some actual important interface. They stopped syntax highlighting on non mainstream languages until new lexers can be written.

It's not like they broke git, or some actual important interface. They stopped syntax highlighting on non mainstream languages until new lexers can be written. What on earth would you as a customer have done if they had said, "syntax highlighting in the browser for <your-favorite-language> is going to go away in a week"? Are you going to migrate away from github? Or shrug and say, "bummer"?
Github did the most efficient thing: break it and let the people who actually care fix it.
- walterbell 12y ago> It's not like they broke git, or some actual important interface Does the vendor or the customer decide what's important to the customer?
- JetSpiegel 12y agoGitHub is free, the repo owners are not the customer.
- lmm 12y agoMany of us are paying GitHub for private repos.
- technomancy 12y agoSeems unlikely that this is true for the affected languages like Racket though.
- soegaard 12y agoI for one am a paying customer :-)
