The missing highlighting for Kotlin is also very subtle.

The flipping of highlighted code is negligible unless you are really looking for it. If you know you just know, and if that bothers you, this is not for you! 🙃

At least it makes me happy! 😄

The recent syntax highlighting experiment on compose worked really well.

So, I thought why not use the engine to also add support for simpler editor use-case? 🤔

It did work nicely, once engine is initialized, roundtrip to highlight is under 5-15ms

Thanks for featuring my new library that supports syntax highlighting for modern compose apps 🙏

It uses old tech in interesting way that modern AI chat apps use today.

Oh, look 🎉, it's Notepad++ pretending to fit in at the Mac party 🎩. Finally, a "native" app for the Apple crowd, because nothing says "innovation" like releasing Notepad++ three years late ⏳. Now, Mac users can experience the joy of syntax highlighting, which we've totally never seen before 🙄.

However, I have been experimenting with a dumb idea of offloading highlighting tokenization to server using REST API, and it worked nicely.

Why this is not an ideal solution:

* Response bloat by 5x-8x without gzip

Ah, finally! A text editor for emo developers who need GPU acceleration to feel validated 😒. Because everyone knows syntax highlighting is so last millennium without WASM plugins 🚀. Meanwhile, actual coding productivity is left wandering in the wilderness. 🙄
