Lexer checklist

[MichaelHatherly]

A list of lexers for different languages/filetypes that would be useful to have. For the most part this list should be based on what other source code highlighters (Pygments, Rouge, etc.) have implemented.

• Julia.
• Julia Console, i.e. jlcon.
• Python.
• C and C++.
• Scheme, Common Lisp, Clojure, etc.
• MATLAB.
• Fortran.
• R.
• TOML.
• Bash, Shell scripts, etc.
• LLVM IR
• ASM
• hundreds of others...

It would be nice to add LLVM IR and ASM here. See JuliaDebug/Cthulhu.jl#44

I'm adding a bump for tkf's request here and an additional petition for ptx, of which there is already a Pygments port in GPUCompiler.

If someone is willing to handhold me with a ptx PR I'll get around to it.

If someone is willing to handhold me with a ptx PR I'll get around to it.

Just ping me when you have any questions. I've not looked at the codebase in a while, but shouldn't be too hard to get reacquainted with it.

I was doing the PR on PTX highlighting for GPUCompiler but I suppose this is the natural place to implement first. I will file a PR shortly. The pygments source for highlighting ptx isn't great imo and a specific highlighter should do a better job. I'll file a PR shortly.

This issue is now somewhat stale since with #64 language grammars are treesitter-based, rather than custom implementations in this repo. I'll close this one now since there's not much that can be done here. It's on the community to package existing TS grammars as JLLs in Yggdrasil, or to implement your own for any niche languages that happen to not have grammars already.
