A thing that has always frustrated me about github/bitbucket, as a language designer, is that you can't teach the forge to syntax highlight files in your own custom formats.

Now the existence of Codeberg/git.gay means potentially I could create a PR to forgejo to add this feature and it would get added to the forges I actually use. Perhaps at some point I will do this.

Anybody know off the top of their heads what syntax-highlighter format Codeberg/Forgejegejo even uses?

@mcc format?

lol maybe i am just that irreparably embittered but my first thought was i bet it's a bunch of ad hoc parsers

@mcc god i am so good at predicting things being shit, it's like my truest skill
@dysfun @mcc The big benefit of the TextMate2-style approach is that the grammar does not have to be complete to be useful for highlighting.
