Is #Perl’s #TemplateToolkit actually TT in HTML or HTML in TT? 🤔

🖥️ Oh, wow! Someone actually took the time to port #Coreboot to a #ThinkPad #X270, proving that you too can waste hours of your life for an unnoticeable boot time #improvement. 🕒🔍 Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to choose between 50 shades of syntax highlighting themes, because that's what really matters, right? 🎨👨‍💻

Arborium is AI slopware and should not be trusted - Evie On-Line

It would be an understatement to say that I am mildly interested in syntax highlighting. While I have yet to write a full-fledged parser myself, my blog

Explainer: Tree-sitter vs. LSP

I got asked a good question today: what is the difference between Tree-sitter and a language server? I don’t understand how either of these tools work in depth, so I’m just going to explain from an observable, pragmatic point of view.

Published my port of the Alabaster theme family for Helix.

Alabaster is a minimal syntax highlighting approach by Nikita Prokopov (tonsky) - only 4 semantic colors: strings, constants, comments, and definitions. Everything else stays plain text because code structure is already clear from formatting.

I've ported all 6 variants (light/dark × standard/BG/mono) from the original Sublime theme (staying as close as possible to the original). Also submitted a PR to ship these with Helix upstream!

Original theme: https://github.com/tonsky/sublime-scheme-alabaster
Read tonsky's essay: https://tonsky.me/blog/syntax-highlighting/
My port: https://github.com/wolf/alabaster-for-helix

I tried to duplicate the original exactly, however Helix has multiple selections so I made the colors distinct between "selection" and "primary-selection".
