🖥️ 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".

A font that highlights TeX syntax? Groundbreaking! 🤯 Forget years of innovation in editors and typesetting systems - just slap a color palette on your font and call it a day! 🎨 Who needs #usability when you have... colors? 🤦‍♂️

A font with built-in TeX syntax highlighting

At the TUG2025 conference, I presented a talk about the development of a new colour font, which does automatic syntax highlighting for TeX documents/snippets. The idea was floated by CVR, and was i…

🚀 Breaking news! 🎉 Web developers are now expected to install a font to solve all their coding woes. Because clearly, the problem with hand-coding websites wasn't the lack of caffeine or sanity, but the absence of syntax-highlighted fonts. 😂
